    It also depends on the application.I.E. the shock load.If you are running around on the street with small tires, low stall speed I doubt 500 h.p. would break the block.Now if you had 450 h.p. in a tubbed car with 33/15/15 slicks,4 link or ladder bar's,5,500 stall and a trans. brake this would make me very nervous.We have run over 500 h.p. in a street car with a stud kit andnot had any problems.I have never seen anyone break a block ever in a street car.Now in a full on bracket car that is another story.
