An ls3 can get you there na or turbo/supercharger. Ls9 is very expensive, along with lsa motors. Ls7 is nice, but for cost vs power ls3 stroker

All motor? Forced induction? N2o?

I would say just do decent 370ci forged motor with a blower. Easy 650-700rwhp.

Ls9's are forged 6.2 with a 2300 blower cost $$$$
LSA's are not forged with a 1800? Size blower still $$$ but not as much.
Ls7's have thin bore liners and get heat soaked BAD, and are bad for FI. and blocks are expensive too
Ls3's are a good all around block and you can stroke it and get a special piston for FI if need be.

If it was me I'd get an Ls2 block and have ERL resleave it into whatever size u want and be done with it.
