Thumbs up 6.0 swap w/ Alum or iron block??

Sup guys im looking at doing a 6.0 swap real soon. Im wanting to go with a all aluminum newer model 6.0 to shed some weight. In the past I have heard aluminum blocks were a bad idea with power adders due to the weaker blocks. In my case it will be a heads, cam truck with 150-175 shot of nitrous. I think it will be fine specially with the newer blocks im sure they are alot stronger than the older ones, you see them doing the samething with the stock aluminum blocks in the cars all the time. What do you guys think??
