Default Reliable LT4 builders?!

Hi all, I've ordered a 2017 ZL1 and I am curious who the community prefers regarding engine builds (short/long block (if different))! I am new to the Chevy world but have been down the built motor road with my old GT500 (put down 1150). Anyway, to keep things short I just want to know who the Chevy-savvy folks of this forum believe to be the best/most reliable engine builders are. Originally I thought maybe Hennessey but read about some of his most egregious acts and decided against sending the Z there.

My goals are to have a safe 800+ rwhp ZL1. Please don't give me any **** about wanting to mod a car that isn't even on the road yet....I know myself and I know that 640 hp on a 3900 lb car is BORING. Thanks for the help!!!!

I would really like to see how the motor itself handles the power in stock form. Maybe it can do that for you!
