300 Shot, o-ring block or not?

Looking for input from guys running 300+ shot on LT-1. The short block is at the machine shop now getting rebalanced for n2o piston change. The builder suggested o-ring the block. Car is 90% strip, 10% street. Thanks in advance!

o-ring ends up in fail most of the time. lots of guys trashed good stuff messing with it. commetics, true block and heads and good install procedures and of corse the correct tune is the way.
