Boosting LS1

I have heard that LS1 Blocks crack under Boost is this true? I wanna supercharge my LS1. How does it compare to a Boosted LT1

Your wallet with give out long before you crack a block. Buy a Vortech S, T or YS-trim and have fun.

i've yet to ever hear of anybody cracking a block in the past 6 years of following LS1's.

I've seen it on 5.0's before, but never a ls1. Other parts tend to fail first

Yea, that doesn't seem to be the "main" issue when boosting an LS1.....

As long as you play it safe and don't get greedy w/the boost you will be fine

Pretty much.

Atleast on the forums there haven't been any block or crank failures from excessive power. That's not to say there haven't been any rod or piston failures that resulted in block/crank damage
