CA engine hp for reliablity

for my 87 turbo, what would you think would be the engine hp limit for a reliable daily driver?
I am adding mods but don't want it in the shop every week.

900hp. It's all about the tune and how you drive it.

I want 546whp when I'm done. But that's not for a while.

My goal is around 350rwhp reliably but as said above its about driving it, maintaining it, and the parts used.

If you invest wisely, you can have a 500+ whp reliably.
