People have run over 400hp without one, you'll be fine if it's installed correctly.

blockguards are homo. they suffer from overheating issues. id reccomend block posts that cost only $40 and wont have the overheating issues. you can get some from energy dynamics.

It used to be sort of common, but the newer, better designed block guards over the past few years don't really have overheating as an issue anymore. Mine doesn't overheat at all.
