block is good til over 1000 hp according to ox. So the block wont be your limiting factor usually. What other parts are you refering to by the rest???

ya definitely think about your drivetrain and rear suspension. Some things to keep in mind, SFCs, UCAs, LCAs, 31 or 33 spline rear end setup, tranny, clutch, etc etc.
