Iron Block VS Aluminum Block
I have a c6 grand sport 6speed auto and I wanted to replace my aluminum stock block to iron block, I've been told that if I want to put on the iron block I need suspension modification due to the heavy weight.
My question is if I really need suspension modification and if I do what do you recommend (goal is 800whp).
And does a forged non stroker aluminum block can support up to 1000whp.
Thanks for the helpers

The iron block is about 100 lbs more then the aluminum block..Thats a considerable amount of extra weight over the front wheels... I would guess it would affect the handling quite a bit without altering the suspension to compensate....WW
