6.0L Questions

I am going to be building a 6.0L shortblock for my camaro and I needed to know which block I should be getting...

I know there are different options, but I want the iron block for strength. Are there any suggestions as to which might be best for me? I see LQ9, LQ4, etc all the time and didn't know which would be best.

I'm naturally aspirated, but may go forced in the future.

Thanks!

The lq9 is a flat top piston so its better for higher compression. The lq4 has dished pistons, better for boost. If you plan to use forged parts the lq4/lq9 blocks are the same.
