What Blocks are you using with those high hp

Can the aluminium stock block handle 1100hp or the truck Cast block?

Ive never seen a crooked aluminum block .Aluminum doesn't bend it breaks. IF its bent its probably melted and cooled to that shape. I figure your refering to the stock cylinder sleeves Get some thicker sleeves DARTON has some like the ricer hondas do to make the block survive . Im thinking not many blow because off to much power, unless your John Force their will always be a culprit inproper tune.. leanspike .. not enough fuel retard at the wheel ...John Force etc.
