Default terminator question

Approx how much more hp can the cast iron terminator block hold than the S197 block if it has forged crank/pistons and rods?

The Terminator motor has held upwards of 700-800rwhp on daily cars....

I have seen one also run 1000+rwhp(on race gas, 9xx on pump)for a few weekends before it blew up.... Just goes to show you how strong the motors are...

Yes I have heard this too. What I was asking is thereany reason an S197 block with forged internals could not do this?

I know the cast iron is stronger than aluminum but aluminum dispates heat better
