Stock uicp and silicone couplers

I live in CA where I have to stay stock ish and have stock upper piping with upgraded silicone couplers with T bolts. What’s the limit of power with the stock uicp?

Anyone running stock uicp with 450whp? I’m trying to see if I have to upgrade or it will be fine since I’d like to look as stock as possible.

I'm not sure you are going to get a lot of answers here, most of us just upgrade that pipe as we do different intercoolers.

Honestly, for what it would cost, you are probably just better off giving it a shot and if it seems to be an issue, it will show itself during tuning.

I have stock piping and silicone couplers. 467hp(dynojet) on e85. You'll break drivetrain parts before those silicone couplers break. I keep my engine bay as stock looking as possible.

Thanks for the replies, I made 422awhp on my old setup via Virtual dyno but wanted to see if I had to upgrade for 450-500whp. Staying stock looking is not what I want to do but what I have to do. It’s paired to a VRSF 3.5 fmic and muse licp.
