Man there is more bad, wrong and downright stupid info in this thread than i can begin to comprehend. Where to start i will try to keep this short and sweet
1. Ge block and head in stock form can handle the exact same HP as the TT its all in the management and tune. I personally have witnessed 800HP stock GE motors that have been running for years with 100K mile engines when we started. The magic behind this is tuning, ditch the dizzy and weld a cam sensor bung in the head.
2. Whomever was ranting about the 7M always blowing up can come inspect my 230K mile stock 7M. They have their flaws but are super easy to make strong. Got a few 800-1100HP ones around for example. Hell sean made 700 i think on a bone stock one lol the ones that knock were run with BHG for a while or simply not cared for.
