Guesstimating, i reckon the donk could handle 250-270 (driven respectfully)
If you're treating it like a 1.2 pug (boy racer) i wouldn't expect it to last too long.
For this you'd need effective breathing mods both ends (inc' R'B turbo), which would require R&D, not just "ah that'll do"
I wouldn't want to push much further without internals etc
After seeing our 400bhp scoob almost cut the block in-half when it snapped a rod at Oulten; it's never a pretty sight seeing your pride & hard work and in smoke (with a loverly orange glow under the bonnet)
It depends how much $$ you throw at it though, you could go mad and spend thousands an push a couple hundred more out of it, but for the same amount you could buy something even better..
No one has yet blown and engine, however AFAIK no one is really on the edge of where the engine is capable
