I have read a lot of articles on the new Boss 302 block but none mention how much hp this block can handle. One short read mentioned about 1000.

Anyone have a better idea or a link to articles with proof?

Thanks,
Ben

I read somewhere it was better than the R block. The specs look promising.

Power

The new boss block, will handle up to 2000hp when used with a billet crank, good rods and piston's. I make 1500hp with a r302 block and a 4130 crank and h-beam rods.

From what I've seen the Boss is little more than an updated R302, few minor changes but nothing revolutionary. Basically Ford's responce to the Dart Sportsman block. My R302 has been bullet proof at over 1000rwhp through the glide, same as Gregg's, bottom line is that you can't really go wrong with any of the new gen 4-bolt blocks, Ford, Dart, World, just get whichever one has the detail features you need and the price you can afford.

What I really want to know is what is up with the homorific intarweb gangsta capitalization in the thread title?

NOOOOOO! No gangsta here. I don't know what I did if I did anything. I was shocked to see it up there myself. Is has never done that before untill I started a new thread calling out Nate. I don't like it, how do I get rid of it? Maybe I have a virus. I posted a thread in another area and it did the same thing. What gives?
