The question from uneasyrider was could a factory block hold up to 900+ bhp. Is there more stress on the block from 900+ bhp naturally aspirated vs. 900+ bhp supercharged? Not sure I understand...where in post #21 does uneasyrider specify naturally aspirated over boosted? My apologies if I missed it.

A supercharged motor at same power level has WAY WAY WAY more stress on the block because the blower takes power to drive, a lot of power to drive, as well as transferring a bunch of harmonics to the crank.

That was kind of my point...
