At 3000+ HP there would be at least a little cap walk/fretting. If KREs iron block engines have some of it at 2000HP I doubt just being made of billet aluminum solves the issue. Iron is very stiff, until it lets go. I don't think there is any way around at least a small amount of it.
But it might not be a huge issue if you stay on top of maintenance. Maybe the billet aluminum dampens things.
We are all going to find out. Its new territory.

You sure talk about skirted blocks a lot.
