Lets talk about what you want to see in a Gen III aftermarket Block?

I've seen lots of comments about the full skirt block costing power (ok, I've seen one guy make the same comment multiple times). I struggle to see how a skirted block hurts power when a non-skirted one with an oil pan doesn't, but I'm no expert. Maybe something to look at though?

Sure seems like the skirted block with cross bolts is partly why the OEM blocks can hold the power they do so not sure it is a worthwhile direction. Just tossing it out there.
