How much can the blocks handle?

I would not hesitate to run 700-750rwhp with these engines, personally.

The weak link at that level will be the pistons. If the tune is good, and you keep the heat out...then it will live for a while.

YEP. Run E-85 and a good tune!

Hellion got 900+rwhp with their twin turbo kits.....with a good tune. That is the key....the tune.

They have a 15-20% correction factor to account for altitude and weather conditions. It is closer to 725. I would not think about 900 on a stock engine.

So you're assuming they used the wrong correction factor for their SAE dyno numbers..? Not sure where you're getting that info from but SAE accounts for air temp, pressure, altitude, etc.. granted the computer/they entered the right numbers.

NOPE.

I am sure they used the correct SAE numbers. I get my information from living in Denver. My past cars made 750 SAE corrected. But the actual number was 620 due to the altitude.
