The prices look great but do they hold up?

No. And the prices aren't great for what you're getting. DSS blocks are nothing more than a punchline.

they arent horrible blocks.... u just need to know that for the most part its a stock block... unless you are ordering a special block.... i do belive u can get the new boss and dart blocks from them.... they will obviously cost more.... suppostedly they do pretty good machine work and like grabbem said a local person may cost more around here to get a block all done up would run 800 bucks plus ull need a bottom end and a block... so the 1800 bucks he spent for a blueprinted block isnt all that bad im my opinion... they only reason i have nething against them is they to to mislead people and make them think they have a really strong block... when in reality they are gettin a very nice stock block... not the cheapest im sure.. but depending on you area it my be a good beat... if u want a call them... i heard they have pretty good customer services

dss is a joke. they use a stock block and machine it and claim it can hold 800hp.

grabbem, did you pay $1800 for just a block cause i just paid $1750 for a boss block and $200 for machine work
