[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 12775099, member: 51847"] Which is exactly why my motor is still stock. I did power mods to my Terminator as I wasn't worried about venting a block with it. With my L I can't afford to have my DD go down for an extended period of time. I guess your question kind of depends on the person. IMO a smartly modded stock motor L with a "GOOD TUNE" should be able to handle 430-450 whp if you don't constantly beat it to death. A 430-450 whp L(which I don't obviously don't have but I have ridden in them) is a very entertaining truck. Obviously they aren't the fastest thing on the road, but a L is never going to be the fastest thing on the road regardless, and if you do all the typical stock longblock mods you will have a very strong pulling truck capable of low 12's and maybe less if you start getting into weight reduction, slicks/skinnies, etc. Still if you want peace of mind, and you can afford it, and you want to make some real power with a L then built is the way to go. I would love to go with a high compression,(when talking boosted apps) all aluminum 5.4 using ported TFS heads, custom ground cams, a 2013 GT500 TVS 2300, etc, etc, but these things cost moneys.
