400 reliably, much more than that and you longevity goes down to anywhere form 10 minutes to 10 years.

So what you are saying is...that if the dyno see's 501whp,the block is junk because it will have a crack


I have seen blocks break in the low 400's,and I have seen stock block make over 700whp.Its a coin flip...but remember ANYBODY CAN BUILD A GRENADE!!
