[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 108758, member: 483"] Look at power output vs reliability. 500 hp in a Gen 1 is on the edge of reliability in terms of block and components. Look at TC's new engine. I don't know what he paid for it but sticker is $25k for 600 hp out of an oldgen small block and to make it reliable they have to use aftermarket everything. Not even the block is produced by GM. 600hp for a newgen is NOTHING. It's a cam, some heads, headers, and a program and you'll still get 100k out of the motor. I don't think the debate is between Old or Newgen though so I'll stop there. I think that if this 383 that your dad apparently already has is all he says its cracked up to be you should go with it. When's the last time you heard of someone going to more power and regretting it? J. J. [/QUOTE]
