Default time for a new engine...who do u suggest?

Well the other day I hydro locked my motor...time for a new motor.

I am running a 100 shot now and plan too with the new motor. Next year I plan on going to a turbo. I want to stay close to stock CI's like a 347. I'm not really into radical cams and heads...I like it to sound good but not roudy.

So, who do u suggest for me to buy a shortblock? I will be running stage 2 LS6 heads, something like a Z06 cam or CHEAter cam, full exhaust with cats and muffler, and nothing else to radical. I do want it pretty much bullet proof, fully forged and so on.

wow, no suggestions?

I know this isn't in the right topic area but I figured I could get some suggestions since I'm gonna run nitrous from my system I have already.

if you are going to go FI, it requires a totally different motor than a nitrous motor, decide on what you want the motor for then go from there.

Well I would say stay away from MTI they botched my C5R pretty bad, after 5k I sent it to More Performance and they did a great job, I cannot expressed how satisfied I am with the MP build.
