Default LSX Block Power Limit

What kind of power and boost can LSX tall deck block handle ?

I have LQ9 in my T/A D1SC @ 11psi making 660rwhp i like to build a LSX twin or single turbo would that be a good choice for the block ?

I also looked at ERL superdeck short block rated up to 1500hp

i want to build this motor to handle 1500 - 2000hp what crank,pistons,rods would be a good choice ?

Bryant crank , BME rods ,Wiseco or JE pistons would that be overkill ?


Thanks
Ivan

if your serious about building a 2000hp motor you need to be on the phone with one of our good sponsors (lmr comes to mind) there is a lot more to building a 1500+hp motor then just throwing some goods rotating assembly parts at it
