I assume your talking about open deck/closed deck. Closed deck blocks have more support around the cylinders and are therefore much stronger. Some have under piston oil squirters and probably more features. They can take more boost and are a good basic for a big power build.

Are you sure you have a CDB?

What model, year??

An open deck will be absolutely fine for well over 400 BHP, so unless you have BIG plans there really is no need to worry.
