How much HP can a stock LS2 aluminum block handle? what if it had a girdle and billet main caps?

It already makes 590hp at the flywheel and I am going to hit it with a 300 shot.

If you have a girdle and billet mains on it, with I assume L19 bolts everywhere you should be fine.. I wouldn't just start off with a 300 hit I'd work my way up to it some but you should be o.k. You will probably push some water with it, meaning the heads aren't gonna seal perfectly but it can be done.

If your already at 590, then it sounds like your pushing it to me.
Here is my "only" 520rwhp on a 100% stock ls2

We probably will make the same power to the wheels. The 586hp was at the flywheel

My car went 9.0 with my ls2, it was making in the 800 rwhp range with both stages and the block was fine.
