Don't get sucked in by any of the bs out there, companys like dss and a few others sell "level ten cnc blocks for way more than they are worth and they are no stronger than a junkyard block, becuase that is all they are, junkyard blocks with a useless cnc program. The upside to all this is when the block splits you get a sweet flower planter.

Precision machining is worth the money, and its still $1000 less than a new unfinished Boss8.2.

A Valley Girdle does not make the block stonger, it helps hold the block together when it splits. And HP doesn't kill the block, RPM does.

I've heard using block filler up to the freeze plugs helps a little by stabilizing the bottom end of the block. Some people say that it can take some of the harmonics out of the block that lead to main problems. That being said I've never ran the stuff.
