Im going to have to go with the lsx. It has thicker cylinder walls to handle much higher cylinder pressures witch comes with running boost or nitrous. On the down side it does weigh a bit more, but the gain is well worth the extra weight.

You can go as inexpensive as an 6.0 iron block or as expensive as a billet aluminum block.. comes down to budget.. and one persons
all right budget
In additon the cubes your going to run should have already factored into the block decision and since you already know the cubes and top end and bottom end not sure what your asking

I own a g8 GT that puts out 427rwhp and 397rwtq cammed and headers...
I don't think he knows what he's getting into. The rear end in our cars won't hold that much power they are already blowing them up in australia with less. Usually in the 700-800 range...There are no aftermarket companies making diffs for our cars.
To even come close you would be looking at a $1000+ driveshaft hendrix or someone else is making them can't remember... ours is weak and people are having failures at my power level already. Ours is the weak two piece with the rubber coupler.
a $2500 build on the trans to beef it up from rossler is what I was quoted thats good to over 1000hp.
You'll need new engine mounts ours will shred pfadt has some not sure on price.
You will need bmr trailing arms and all new bushings throughout the car or you will wheel hop bad.
You'll need a custom fuel system there are a couple of twin in tank setups being prototyped now, but nothing is ready yet.
Next problem is you will need CCW to custom make you some rims as there is nothing in the market that will fit a wide enough tire with our weird offsets in the rear.
You will have to put $20000-25000 minimum into our $30,000 car to even think about hitting 1000rwhp and not totally blowing your driveline to pieces...
If you have that kind of budget I applaud you... I'm simply looking at a 440 sleeved stroker setup or a maggie setup and be happy with my 550-600hp...

I happen to like my IRS for roads that aren't straight...
There you go rear end problem solved... I've seen it in the gto setups haven't seen anyone do this with a G8 though...
