**600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

2 schools of thought I guess...I am from the school of thought where BIG POWER, whether blower, spray, turbo, or N/A is badass! but thats just me....and yes, most of those old school muscle cars that have some crate stock style LS motor installed do nothing for me (could be that I hate car show cars in general, and prefer drag style vehicles since they actually have more than an edelbrock carb and M/T valvecovers lol)

It seems to me that most mopar guys are either afraid or just don't like any kinda power adder, as if its some sort of illegitimate way of making power...could be why alot of the mopars run like old dogs compared to chevy and ford guys who aren't biased to those types of modifications..but thats jmo

back to block holding discussion...this thread interests me since im putting a long arm in my LA and planning to throw some hits of the oh forsaken "shprayyy" at it...definitely should see over 600 crank hp, question is will it hold?

I agree with you about liking drag cars and anything that is built by a passionate hobbyist that works well. There is more to this discussion than just how much HP a stock block will take. Piston speed, internal part weight, internal part materials, RPM, yadda yadda yadda. Way more than I am capable of comprehending.

I myself can't stand the LS Motors either...... Sorry guys. My hatred of them started at the Sand Dunes. Guys would be buying 120K Sand Cars telling everyone their NA LS Motor has 650HP or their turbo motor has 800HP, low and behold I would be handing their asses to them with my lil 288CI Quad Overhead Cam V8... 8300RPM on the Recall!! Them LS Sand Engine builders were taking their $$ and laughing all the way to the bank.

Nope here is a dose for ya!! Me and my Son terrorizing the Sand Dunes!:D
My crew use to dune so damn fast that we would push all the FUNCO guys out of the way Nascar Style undercutting them in the big bowls and passing them up. Them guys had nothing on our ****. Average speed calculated in the dunes was 78MPH on my GPS! They would come back in behind us and we would go again, dudes could not keep up!!
