Default power on .05 oversize

what sort of power could you get from a .5 oversize 200 block safely

would 500bhp be able to be achieved?

the crank may possibly be on .5 aswell

obviously it would have the correct pistons and everything else to match, im just thinking of strength

block will be fine for 500bhp at .5,

crank may be an issue, at .5 though

I'm running 600bhp + approx 60bhp gas on a 1mm over sized block, as for the crank... it's how its ground that is important, the radius's need to be good as thats where the strength is, My crank is on .25/.5 with no issues so far.
