The only thing stopping you from going faster is the false limits you put on an oe block. Aftermarket blocks do not insure an engine will not fail.... it just makes an engine more tolerable to tuning mistakes.
Not saying everyone is capable of keeping an engine alive, but as long as there are those that can, shows it can be done. There definitely is some risk/ reward in trying.
You can tell that to the guy that just did my headers....He just knocked all the bores out of a .03 over 440 with a 6/71 right above the fill, seems 20psi is a tad too much.....the BBM has limits, and he has found most of them over the years. So go ahead, make 1000hp with a stock block, we have one running down at the shop, and one not running down at the shop....They do not like a lot of boost....Sure people build them, yes they go fast, and yup, they let go.....We just built a 512 B1 stock block 440.....We will see how many passes that makes, its 10:1 with 10psi with a roots 6/71....They do sound good while they last, I wish the video I took would have captured correctly, all I can say is wow, but I will wait till I have a block.
