The stock block might have some core shift issues above 1000rwhp but other then that hit er' hard it should be good for it. Keep the heads down and have fun, remember good fuel.

is it a 2 bolt or a 4 bolt block? if its a 2 bolt block is it splayed? If it is see sig i havent had any issues. #s of boost depends on how big of a blower/turbo you are running 20#s from a t67 isnt the same as 20#s from T88

Thanks everyone. I'm just looking for this shortblock to handle around 600rwhp and same amount of torque. I have a t-67 turbo also. I'm not sure on the 2 bolt. I will need to check that out - Mike

That cam is going to make more power than a hot com. Drivabilty and idle won't be much differnt.
