I'm guessing in the 6000-7000 range.

Officially - no.
Unofficially - you'll probably be fine if you have a stick, and need a bit of an upgrade for the auto.
- X
P.S. - just so you don't think I'm pulling that tranny info out of my rear, the manual tranny is factory rated for 345 ft*lbs. If the same ratio of torque/horsepower is maintained with the stock engine, the car will put out 385 ft*lbs at that horsepower. Thats about 330 at the wheels.
I can't remember off the top of my head if that rating is "at the wheels" or "at the flywheel," but either way you're not pushing it too much. The tranny in my IROC was only rated for like 225 ft*lbs, and I was putting out about 300 at the wheels (350ish at the flywheel) for quite a while before it busted on me.
