    I made 895rwhp with the boost over 30psi more than once. Using the Old School Boss Block. :2thumbs: When i can afford it ill probably be using the new Boss block.

    not really afraid that it wont hold up, just looking to see what the real world results are. Ford claims and mmff as well that this is stronger and better then the r302...so im wondering.

    See I've seen them in person, and they are stout as shit. But for some reason they shortened the piston skirts. My machinist says he won't assemble a 347 in that block, they are so short. Wrist pin is almost out of the skirt.

    I can't see that anyone has really found the limit of the R302 yet. I know plenty of people making 1500-1800hp with it. I don't think you're gonna find anyone testing the limits of the new Boss either.

    I just got my boss block, and plan on running a 331 t76 combo to around 7-800 rwhp. I will post up how it goes by spring. The block itself looks very healthy, Everything is nice and thick.
