How to get 1500+HP

Let's look at someone who does it. Rob Goss has a procharged new body challenger running in the 4's eighth mile. He has been through several aftermarket blocks and they are cracking on him. They have tried welding gussets in and every other trick they could think of and are still having problems. He also told me the stock head wont hold up and lifts off, he had to go to billet. 1500 up is when his problems started.

Lets get to the mistaken comment. Aftermarket block. Nope there isnt one. Ma mopar dont make **** for an aftermarket block. They make an aluminum one they claim to be beefed up. Yet most of the threads didnt even hold a bolt hand tighten up out of the box and needed redone. If you think that is gonna be of any quality over stock. Your really selling yourself very short. So it isnt the fact the design cant hold up but the production quality coming off the lines. Ma mopar cares today just as much as the last 50 years and thats not at all. Mopar does this to keep real manufacturers away to control the market share of the product. This happens in almost every field in the world but cars.
Those who build those billet heads and thitek heads will probably step up with a block some day. I assume so anyways as it is needed, but not a high desire need just yet. Nobody has pushed these things hard enough till recent to find this out. We will see what will come or not of the aftermarket world for us 3genners(no relations to bruce/catlyn) of course.
