Looks like you found all of the 2G haters out there. The only thing that would make me shy away from a 2G is the additional weight. And where did you find that the bottom end can't hold up to 400 hp??? The rods are weaker and CW is a possibilty, but with minor mods 2Gs can be fast and look good! And if you are making 400+ hp what the hell are you doing with a stock bottom end!!!

A 1g block is supposedly good for 400 hp because of the big rods. 7 bolt blocks are weaker. A 2g block has a better change of CW than it has of making 400 hp. Why would someone push 400hp on a stock block you ask? To save money. Why the hell not? Not all of us have $20,000 to throw into a race car.

I heard that pigs can fly. Doesn't mean I have to believe it though. Do you think if something happens once, it happens all the time?
Face it, 1g's are faster, cheaper, and easier to mod. SLS has a 1g running 11.28 on stock longblock. BTW, the 14b record is in the 11's. A t25 record is 13's. 1FAST14B ran 12.1 on a 14b. If you want 11's for cheap, you will have to do some weight reduction. Don't expect your car to run 11's on stock turbo just because one has before.
Since you are looking for performance, get a 1g. 1gs are damn sexy too
