How much hp will it handle up to?

If you are asking how much it will give you, you are not buying the intercooler for the right reasons. The intercooler alone will not give you mcuh HP if any, what it does is keeps the HP you do have (especially on hot days) it prevents heat soak and some have claimed that they feel it winds out a bit more, that remains to be seen but....

If you are asking how much the intercooler will handle..

I know this is not scientific evidence but you will blow the motor to bits before you would get to a hp level that would be beyond the capabilities of this intercooler..

yea, im wondering how much it can handle, i want to only have to buy one intercooler i dont want to buy one and then 6 months down the road i do a turbo upgrade and realize that my new intercooler is inadaquate and have to pay another 1500 to upgrade my already upgraded intercooler...so is there a intercooler that is bigger/better than the one on the strat. webpage?

is the question.....

IMHO, unless you are upgrading internals etc and running insane amounts of boost, this intercooler will serve your purpose.
