We know the stock block can hold 600whp+ 500wtq+ for several dyno pulls....but who has been doing this over an extended period of time. There is already a few blown at these higher levels.

I haven't seen too many threads about that. Who's lost a motor from making too much power?
As much as we've seen the 500/400 numbers tossed out there as the limit, there's plenty of guys running substantially more than that without issue. The question is how long will it stay together. The 600+ guys aren't on pump gas, so they've got a bit more leeway but I can't imagine that being good for the motor's longevity.
