Add to that, the fact that it was originally intended to be an aluminum engine, so the design parameters were such that the cast iron version had the same oversize main bearing webs and thick deck dimensions, it's an engine that can withstand a LOT of boost without trauma (hopefully.) We intend to find out where its Achilles heel is, if it has one, by running boost levels that have not heretofore been researched (to our knowledge) on this engine.

Gonna be fun... Maybe...

Bill they main problems aren't from the bottom. They are from to much heat in the chambers. I have a friend that has had some block problems. But he makes 1400 HP from 150 cubes.
