How to get 1500+HP

Ya, I'm guessing BES knows how to prep a block. Those ThiTek heads were good for one pass as well after they were machined for the Jesel rockers. Good luck to you on you build, but after hearing about the problems first hand by someone who has done it I will go with plan B. Gen II hemi. I do love the Gen III platform and potential.

I do thing 1500 is the max and no more. I just think those alum blocks are junk castings. I used to make castings for a living and my dad was the liner hone expert for caterpillar inc for 20yrs. Structural integrity is lacking on the aluminum block. Thats why its hard to find a new one now and why so much trouble with them as well.
