Whats safe?

I am going to attempt to hit the wife up for some $$$$$$. My question is how much hp is safe to add to the 5.4 s/c under my hood. I know that my 05gt was around 450hp and after that it was a little risky ie kaboom.

I do not want to open up the motor so what could/should I do to increase the hp. I know about the cai/tune but what else can I do. The 605hp SuperSnake has what to get to the 605 number? Any help would be great as spring is just around the corner. I already have my excuses/reasons lined up to hit the wife with

Pulley, tune, and cai and I'm sure you would be at your goal.

How about 800hp? Slap a Kenne Bell 2.8H on that baby. But in all seriousness do like they said get a pulley, a tune and a CAI and you should be pushing 600hp.
