Honestly, it depends on how good the casting of the block is. Some blocks are simply stronger than others because of variances in casting (no two blocks are exactly the same).
If you want to make huge power, I would build an engine that is no more than .020 over. But that's just me. The less the block is bored, the stronger it will be.
You can also consider having the block sleeved for more strength at larger bores.
