I think most folks will say these motors are solid and if the GM rep said it could handle 1000hp at the crank then you're probably ok, but as you know there are no guarantees. Good luck man, sounds like your car is a beast!

I 100% agree. All I or anyone else can state is what has been done with either my own or others I know. With that said tuning and the way you drive play a big part. There's a big difference I f you are drifting for three minutes bouncing the motor off the rev limiter vs driving around town and getting on it for few seconds at a time or road racing for 20 minute sessions.
