[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93PONY: [QB] There's no real advantage to an aftermarket block aside from it can handle more power. However, it is heavier then a stock block. IMO the Dart/FRPP blocks are comparable to the LS1 6.0L Iron block (if swapped into an F-body or Vette) as they *can* handle 1000hp when prepped correctly & also carry an extra 75lbs or so over an aluminum LS1 block. I don't believe many will be pushing 1000hp at this event...so it shouldn't be a problem. As for the stock LS1 blocks handling 600hp, this is true, however most stock shortblock LS1's can not push much over 500RW without running into serious problems such as block distortion, rings butting up due to close tolerances which crack ring lands, etc. The vast majority of the aluminum LS1's are limited to 500RWHP reliably....just like the good 'ol 5.0. Damn....I wish one of our cars was up & running so we could race! Brian, Not able to find a sponsor for the Heads & Cam N/A LS1 class? -Shaun [/QB][/QUOTE]
