But you are also forgetting how much more expensive machine work is on an aluminum block. Also, there is a reason that Ford and GM switch to iron blocks for boosted apps., the reason is longevity. Aluminum blocks get there strength from being cycled through heat treatments. Once the block is finished and in use, going through heat cycles weakens the blocks over time. For a daily driver this is not an issue, however once you start drag racing it and producing alot of power it will. That said, imo the teksid is not going to fail on you, however it is more expensive and not just in purchasing the block itself. You would be better off taking the extra $ and getting a better FI system or suspension.
