there are differing opinions on this. some think that 600-650hp is no 
problem. i'm of a different opinion from experience. the main caps start walking 
around at 550hp. i've done pro-gram cross bolts. i think they help but a mega 
block in my opinion is the right step for bottom end integrity. the pro-gram caps 
have to be align bored and a cross bolt surface machined in the sides of the 
main webs. the quality of machine work is important. if the center caps don't 
fit snug to the block at the cross bolts you'll have to go thru some shimming 
excercises to maintain crankshaft end play (crankshaft is another area of 
concern for blown engines).
