Yeah, he knows what he's doing. I have a crank over there getting balanced right now.
As long as your tune is good and the bearing clearances are right, I'd think that shortblock would be fine to 7-800whp. I just don't like pushing the stock sleeves that hard though.

The LS1 blocks had sleeve issues. The block itself should be good to around 1000 HP Flywheel. A couple of guys have come close to that on a bone stock LS1 shortblock.
Unfortunately, the stroker crankshaft just compounds the problem by putting more side-load on the sleeves. Long story short, you upgraded the rotating assembly, which wasn't the weak point to begin with, and only make the weak point even more of a problem to begin with....
