General feel is they are fine at that power level.

I've also been told that if power level is slowly raised over a period of time, they seem to be ok! Ade is running 700hp on a 99 block

As said a few have failed but tbh i think it was the unknown of the 99 block to why they got the blame..

There has been just as many failures the same on a 200 block so i wouldnt worry mate,theres plenty 99 blocks doing fine


cheers danny
