Pump-gas motors won't last as long. Any sort of detonation will bounce the caps on the block.<br /><br />My original Byron tuned TT 331 twisted the block with 430/507RW. Of course, this was with 7psi on the dyno & she made 11psi at the strip with the same tune.... Inertia Drum's FTL (with a turbo car). I'm sure if I'd have run straight 100 she'd be running still.<br /><br />RPM has a LOT to do with it as well.<br /><br />The wife's all-motor setup is pushing the limits of the stock block. Upon freshen up I noticed material transfer from the caps to the block. (walking the caps at high RPM) Hers is making 442RWHP at 6400RPM & she shifts it at 6800.<br /><br />Dart is in the process of releasing an SHP SBF block in the $1500 range with 4-bolt mains. It'll handle well over 1000hp. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
