If your only playing with a 150-200 shot i would not consider filling the block.I think when people start pushing water that is when i would start filling(of cource big hit's).As long as the tune up is right also.Filling the block half way is something that i don't know will solve the problem, sounds like you still street drive and i've heard of peolple filling half way and using on the streets.If your thinking of a partal fill and want to drive on the streets i would call hard block and see what there position is on there product.

No more street duty for me. I "could" but I choose not to, to be honest I don't want the headache from the cops, and I have too much time into the car to risk something stupid happening to it.

I'm not having any issues, but I figure if the motor is apart over the winter, why not do it?
