What I getting from this is an under 600 NA hp street strip especially one that's not seeing a lot of strip stock block should be no worries. A 600-699 hp drag race engine should be able to use stock block you may be running borrowed time, doesn't seem like of people are showing a lot of examples failures though, so might be fine, 700 + hp I imagine not a ton of examples out there still haven't seen people post failures but probably should be budgeting an aftermarket block at this level. And power adders might be able to squeeze more?
