If built properly, how much boost could an aluminum block handel? I want to build something to withstand atleast 20lbs of boost, would an aluminum block work or would it just be smarter to go iron and build a 408 or something along those lines

Fireball was running 25-25 psi on his ls2 block with no issues,but if weight is not a concern i would always go with iron-less bore distortion and better ring sealing

I went iron not too worried about the extra weight.I am targeting around 1000rwhp max with some spray.

unless someone was crazy enough to fill the waterjackets with hardblok on an LS2 block

Did that crazy person do a half fill or a full fill I would imagine that even a half fill would help a lot to stabilize the cylinders.

some people are crazy enough to leave that decision up to their engine builder

around 1000 at the wheels. By around i mean anywhere from 900-1000 at the wheels. I'd be happy with that.

Would an LQ4 be strong enough or should i go strait to LQ9? I wanted to do a truck manifold setup pushing around 18-20psi with a decently size motor.
