yep.. block will split before killing a rod and it takes over 500rwhp to split a block

wow, are you seriuos, i was talking about a block....but i just said throwing rods.....but still i though that a block could only support like 400-450max rwhp....and i thought 11psi max on the internals....

In my case, my car with the OEM shortblock at 172k miles was at 14psi and 525rwhp before detonation killed #8 piston.

That's about right on a 4.6L, but the Windsor blocks and internals can handle a little more power (excepting the '03/'04 4.6 shortblocks

)

now those are for the H.O. blocks correct, and where all 89-92 (87 and 88 too but speed density and tune=no fun) H.O. or only select models....was 93 hyperpathetic pistons or did it continue to use the forged?

All the '88+ 5.0 Mustangs were HOs (

). Yes, the '93s had hypereutectic pistons.
