You can break an engine at 400 hp if done wrong.
An Lt1 can live a happy life at 900 HP if done right.
You can also break a forged internal engine if done wrong.
Combinations and careful tuning makes all the difference.

I beg to differ on your OPINION only. Have seen (2) Gen 6s break pistons with less than 800 HP. (The weak link is those stock alum pistons.) Why do you think GM went with forged internals on the ZL1? Have YOU seen broken forged pistons with less than 900-1000 whp? I haven't, if TUNED correctly and driver not doing stupid sh## (like you state above, combinations and tuning makes ALL the difference)
If you are going to pawn your goods on this forum (especially for ~$20K for your 'brawler' package without pistons), please give data that is helpful to those looking for guidance... (stick to the original question asked)
