Think of reliability (and streetability) as a sliding scale, not as something that a car either is or isn't. In other words, if you want it to be just as reliable as stock, don't modify it. That said, imo you could proabably achieve a reasonable level of reliability for daily driving up to about 550rwhp or so. After that point, you're getting into extensive modifications (eg complete fuel system replacement, auto tranny or clutch issues, big turbos that are most efficient at a boost level that requires race fuel, etc.).
P.S. There are no problems with 1000hp and the oem 6spd, oem motormounts, or oem diff. They all easily handle that horsepower level.
