Default Iron Block limits

He I have a nitrous motor set up 370 cu 6.0 lq9 iron block with all forged internals (stock crank) with trickflow 215 heads. I'm spraying a 250 shot now, but was wondering what the limit of my setup would be. The car makes 490 hp on motor. Could I spray a 500 at this thing considering its a iron block and forged internals? Oh yeah i also have head studs and cometic gaskets. Just wondering whats the limit.

the limit lies within your pistons and rings, not the block itself.

what rings and how much are they gapped? what pistons?

i would think you would be pushing the limits of that stock crank as well if your pistons and such could handle it. imo

Sorry guys a little more info on the motor. I have Custom Je pistions and Lunati Pro-Billet Rods. Not sure of the rings or what they are gapped.
