Getting a new shortblock, need advice.


I found this short block, Mustang - 79-95 Short Block, 5.0L Economy,Forged Piston, Accepts Roller Cam at LRS - Same Day Shipping! , my question is would this be able to hold 13.5 lbs of boost with a dyno tune?

That looks like a stock block to me (and I'm pretty sure it is considering they say they "start as good cores"). Near as I know limit on a stock block is around 450hp, so 13.5 lbs of boost is probably gonna be too much.
