potentially you could commission a stress analysis of the stock block based on the CAD model?
I can provide a CAD solid for you if you wish
any small engineering firm / stress analysts could probably do this probably take a weeks work?
as with all of things aftermarket, it depends what you mean by 'reliable' as folks saying my 600whp set up has been running a year on the street with no issues.....
this is not a good test
as track use with slicks and downforce will be much more taxing compared to a very traction limited street setup where you rapidly run out of road to actually unleash all those ponies.
I think Adrian at Fensport who's running about 550bhp and has been the last year on track is a good person to tap up for advice as that block is essentially stock, just de-burred a bit to remove the 'please break here' points
