The powdered metal rods and hyperpathetic pistons can make 800+ HP, but the first time you rattle them, BOOM! Ringland failures are the most common issues. Its not what they can make, its how long they can make it.

It is referred to as a WAP(Windsor Auto Plant?) block and most 01's have them. The 99 and some early 01's have the Teksid block which was cast in Italy I think and is good for more HP. The teksid block is supposedly good to well over 1000hp.
Teksid block was cast in Italy. All 99, 00, and the early 01's recieved the block. The blocks have been used to well over 1200 HP without any issues.
