i don't think anybody would agree to that-atleast anybody than builds any of these.

billet block is the strongest-if made properly damn near indestructable

rhs alum is second-it does require some work in certain areas to handle high hp.

the lsx would be what i consider a distant 3rd. it will handle a good bit of power but really requires ALOT of work over 1800hp.

Just like Shawn said....They all need work just some more than others.
1) Billet Block

2) RHS or the Warhawk are somewhat close

3) The LS2 and the LSx block both have their differences. The LSx is weak in the main area.

The LS2 and LSx are going to require a center counter weighted crank to live for a long time, pin the mains and a main support system. The RHS block is stronger in the mains but weaker in other areas. The Billet block you can have cut to order and would be the choice is money were no object.

the warhawk isn't close-it's a piece of junk out of the box.
