There a turbo guy well into the 500s Ira is in the 470s something with an AR. You need the good stuff for the internals. 400s are becoming more common.

Im goin turbo is the best way to gain hp fast my set up is the SC Block 4.2 crank, 0.030 over wiseco piston, scot rods, a nice little cam , custom made intake with a 85 mm TB and 85mm MAF and some other goodies. My goal is 500rwhp plus. I reallly want to push the car to its limits i was just wondering if someone already had.
At the shootout we had one turbo guy on the portable dyno than ran over 500 and the dyno was reading something like 13% low

nice nice so im gessing that noone has ever push the SC block to its limits?
You won't need an 85mm TB, a 75mm will be plenty because you will be pushing the air through it. 85mm MAF may not be enough...are you planning to do a blow through or draw through MAF ?
I'm not aware of anyone who has broken a block because of too much power, but there have been indications of main bearing cap walk on several motors, so you may want to consider using a main bearing girdle.

From time to time those of below the 400HP have.
What size turbo (s) are you planning to use ? What fuel system upgrades ?
David
I havent decided on what turbo to go with yet im between the
GT 35R or the T70 but goin to be single turbo do, as for fuel 60lb injectors if they hold with custom made fuel rail, (2) 255 walbros, 3/8 fuel lines , mallory afpr
I started putting her together friday
Looking forward to seeing some progress pictures. I think the 60# injectors are going to limit you to around 500 rwhp and you would be better off going with 80# injectors. What are you doing for an intercooler ?

I'm betting the block didn't fail. Something else failed and the block went with it.
