    where did you get this information? yes you can spend a pile of $ on them I have about $5200 in my engine inc. turbo to run 10's & not even pushing it. but I know some guys running bone stock un opened motors in the 10's is it safe no it can let loose any time. as for the blocks being weak, that they can not hold up under boost, I run 30-32 psi on my motors (stock is about 15psi), in the last 7 years running these cars I have never damaged a block, or blown a head gasket. I did 1 time spin a bearing but that was @ 21psi, oil pump went out.
