Power limits by part

I really think pistons are stronger than they get credit for. It's just that very few people are dumb enough to install forged rods and leave the pistons stock. I put 25k street miles on my car at 332whp/303wtq before it was totaled and the stock pistons were still going strong.
I'd drop fuel pump down a bit, I think pretty much everyone over 250whp is running an aftermarket pump. I feel like mine is showing signs of struggling at 200whp. They're cheap and you don't want to find out that the stock one can't keep up when you're at peak power/boost.
The stock coils should probably join the list as well. Maybe 225whp-250whp.
Overall that's a good list.

him... before I realized that was me... 5 years ago.Another 5 years of beating up OEM pistons on forged rods with no issues at all. 5 dyno's over 300whp (including a sig linked 330whp pull on a Mustang Dyno), a pile of 11 second 1/4 mile time passes, and probably 100k miles on stock pistons, no issues seen.
I did kill a 6 speed @ ~370whp/320wtq, stock pistons, stock 3.90 torsen, stock axles never gave me an issue.
