Wondering if stroker engines are more likely to break a stock RB block than stock-stroke builds. "Hypothetically"... is a 512 build making 700 HP and 650 torque limited to 6500 RPM more or less likely to break the same block than a 451 build making 700 HP and 600 torque limited to 7000 RPM?

Or, to put it a different way, what is the general consensus -- if such a thing exists -- on what increases the likelihood of a stock block experiencing main webbing damage?
- RPM?
- Torque?
- HP?
- Detonation?
- High(er) compression?
- Piston speed?
- Curses by gypsies?
- All, or some specific combination, of the above?
