**600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

2 schools of thought I guess...I am from the school of thought where BIG POWER, whether blower, spray, turbo, or N/A is badass! but thats just me....and yes, most of those old school muscle cars that have some crate stock style LS motor installed do nothing for me (could be that I hate car show cars in general, and prefer drag style vehicles since they actually have more than an edelbrock carb and M/T valvecovers lol)...BUT when I see an LS motor with a cam swap, ported stock heads, and some spray or turbo KILLING it, that to me is impressive!

It seems to me that most mopar guys are either afraid or just don't like any kinda power adder, as if its some sort of illegitimate way of making power...could be why alot of the mopars run like old dogs compared to chevy and ford guys who aren't biased to those types of modifications..but thats jmo

back to block holding discussion...this thread interests me since im putting a long arm in my LA and planning to throw some hits of the oh forsaken "shprayyy" at it...definitely should see over 600 crank hp, question is will it hold?

That's because most of the people shooting their big mouths off have never actually built anything that makes real power, and they're nothing more than armchair quarterbacks that run around talking about that time they had a "Hemi 440 six pack Challenger with a 3/4 race cam that pulled the wheels from a 100mph roll", and expect us to believe their bullshit.

I'm a fan of nitrous myself. If your motor is built for it, and you're not stupid with it, a lot of power can be made. Plus you can still keep it reasonably easy to drive on the street.

And, to answer your question about handling spray:

Yes. It will hold the power. My 390 makes in the neighborhood of 500 NA, and I ran a 150 shot of nitrous constantly when it was in my 5000lb Dakota. The block wasn't the weak link in the equation, the transmission was.
