caknox...holy mother...what cam were you running...nice heads for sure...yeah as far as block safety goes....its weird I think you either get a good one or dont...but they are always on the edge at 400+ I figure after a few good fwy pulls you'll know if you have a good block...LOL I think the key is to not hold it for a longtime like forth gear on the freeway pinned. Just ripping through the gears is not to much load....or launching on slicks at the track....if my motor can make 600 I will keep it in 500 range for safety...I think 500 should be enough for the street....not like its guna hook at that anyways hahaha

yeah hyper and everything and its done me a good 2 years along with many times to the track and many street miles. never had a problem and that is with a very conservative tune we had it over 500 and i told my tuner to take it down to make it safer and more streetable.
