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

If there is one thing I HATE about car forums and fb groups, its people who have not done it spreading fear and bullshit. It's why I always end any question I ever post with "Please post your experience"...If you don't have the experience, why even reply? If someone asked how much it costs to build a competitive pro modified car with a breakdown of prices, I would never respond because I have never done it...But so many clowns think they are "helping" when they pass along bullshit wives tales, and they are lucky if their car with a slant even runs LOL

This thread should in reality actually be incredibly short. I don't think there was ever evidence posted in here that would discredit the "600hp and its gonna blow up" question...We should be riding the SBM chariot like the badass engine it is! ahaha

This is pretty much what I think, as a relatively new car hobbiest/Mopar fanatic (started March of 2020) I shut my trap and listened to the top dogs. I asked stupid questions, sure, but I listened and learned. First build was a mediocre RV cammed 360 making 300 HP and probably 430 ft lbs but I've decided to step my game up with a 3.58" stroke W9 360 using a factory 1970 360 block (yes 1970 cast date even though they came out in 1971) and the goal is 700 HP N/A running a 4 speed in my childhood longbed D150. Based on the setup a simulation dyno claims 690 HP with 549 ft lbs. Guess we'll find out the limit but wouldn't have gotten this far had I not decided to ignore the jackasses
