I'm sure it can take whatever you will throw at it. I would say at least 1000hp...if built correctly. If you meant left stock internals, I'm sure it will be like every other LS motor for the most part and be good to 500-500 rwhp....

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will reply and let you know for sure

Built properly, it'll be good for huge hp numbers. Over 1000hp...

Iron block will probably take anything you can throw at it.

I'm pretty sure Kurt and W2W made over 2000hp with one, but don't expect to see that on the stock caps or without hardblok. Probably o-rings too.

great to here. seeing some of these advertisments of new blocks good up to 500 hp had me worried. im going to put these blocks thru 25 maybe 30 min.of hell. hoping for 650-700 hp. so i wanted to make shure i was starting with a good foundation. if anyone could think of something that i should do to the block to help it handle all this punishment i would be greatfull.
