Block isn't the problem, their plenty stronger then most street cars will ever need. Keep in mind people have gone 8s with production LT1 blocks, most street cars wont ever go that fast or make that kinda power. Going to a Gen I Head isn't that much more expensive then going all out with a AFR casting especially if you want to run a fuel injected single plane set up then the extra price difference in machine work can be some what negligible.

Optisparks arent that bad. Drive your car threw a lake and its gona ****, just like most ignitions. Ive had a stocker on mine for 2yrs and plan to keep it that way for my 398.

Well, there are some of us who have aquired a verry bad taste for the opti, i would just rather not EVER use one again. The bastard made me want to burn the bitch to the ground.
