How much hp can a stock 13bt hold?

How Much power can a internally stock series 4 13bt hold provided the proper tuning and fuel is done. I will be running a microtech. I am thinking about buying a garrett gt 35/40 turbo for the motor but don't want to blow it as it is a new motor and can't afford a new one .

here is the deal.... if its a new engine, and you tune it right, you can easily get 350+ out of it without hurting your motor, HOWEVER, the more power you put to it, the less mileage you will get out of the motor. My buddy is pushing 450 HP out of his third gen and it is tuned perfect, yet he still only expects to get maybe 30-40K out of the engine.....

The more power you force out of it, the less time its going to last, period.
