What is needed to make my engine "safe" for big HP

So what I am looking for is a complete list of parts, not looking for part numbers or anything, just the general part. A complete list that will make my engine safe for big horsepower and torque (i.e. forged pistons, rods etc.) I have read many places not to go over 400tq on stock internals, so what do I need so that I wont have to worry about anything blowing.

You should select a power target. The compents for 500hp, 800hp, and 2000hp are very different. Select a power (and more importantly, torque) figure because otherwise these responses will mean little.

Also, this topic has been covered quite a few times, so I would suggest searching for some results first.

Ryan Gates ran over 11,000 track miles on a stock motor (maybe just a stock block - I can't remember) at 550hp. With a proper tune and good luck you can run more power than that - but you are taking a risk with any power level. It seems you are smart enough to mitigate those risks, but know that they are always present.

I would have selected a certain target but I will continuously keep going up, start with a smaller turbo and go bigger eventually but unfortunately Donald Trump doesn't fill my pockets for me so this will all take time. I guess for now to be safe Id say ~600whp and torque around 500wtq

A good tuner and a good engine builder. Most engines blow because the tune.

look at murlo26's build. He's got roughly what you want in terms of power goals.
