Hey guys i was wondering what the limits were for one of these blocks?? I think the termi cars are a cast iron block again and can handle high horse numbers. Any info would be awesome thanks!

You can put over 1000hp through a factory Teksid block

They have the cast iron blocks, I wouldnt call them weak... Every builder has a different few on modular blocks, they all can take a lot of power and they do have ways to add some extra strength to them by welding in supports, etc...

FWIW, some 99/01 blocks were also Teksid (you'll have to identify them to make sure - remember seeing a thread over on SVTP awhile back, try running a search there possibly or Google), but like Rick 91GT mentioned, the blocks are good for gobs of power. It's usually the other stuff that can't hold up to the insane power levels if that is what you seek...
