Yes, crank up the boost on the dyno to even say 700whp your block might not go airborne, but take a 500whp tune and live on the track for sometime and you will kiss it goodbye. GTM said you should be safe with a stage 1 on a stock block (500whp almost) but only time can verify that.

Funny how a TT'd 350Z (in Dubai) brags about pushing 500 ponies to the wheels calls himself the stock block killer when he doesn't even know what his car sounds like at 5k rpm lol
That, and money, are exactly why I plan to wait a few years before doing any sort of Forced Induction. Let the nuts that have the money to do so, do so and blow up their stuff...if they don't, good for them!
