Stock block MAX power How much horsepower can a stock LS1 block hold with fully forged/billet internals? This will be a nitrous application.

Sounds good. Basically the block will hold what I throw at it? (within reason) Like 800-900 rwhp should be no problem with internals? Also whats the weakist part in our motors? Rods, pistons or the crank or something else

The real trick is to keep the heads from lifting off.

I thought the sleeves were the weak point, now the heads too?

Sleeves are not a weak point on stock blocks, but on resleeved that is another matter. (Depends who dun it)
I would never trust but 1 company, R-E-D
