Default LSX race motor build

Which vendors can build a full race lsx? Im not talking about a lsx block with some bolt on heads, I mean all out race.

We have two LSX full race going together currently one is HYD roller and one is solid,
Both with custom crank rods and piston.
The Hyd. motor is 8.5:1 for 25# of boost with a 200 direct port and a 150 plate

We are also building a short deck Warhawk that is 13.2:1 road race motor Daily dry sump, 25x/ 68x cam

The solid LSX is kinda top secret right know but I can tell you we are looking @ F4 prochargers

thats pretty trick for the extra holes for a Motor plate... what about the mid plate?

when you say factory holes i see that it has ALL the procharger mounting spots unlike the factory iron block...

Billy Briggs is the engine build manager at Wheel to Wheel. He is also on my personal list of people who build engines that I feel comfortable sitting behind at over 4 digit power, and thats a really short list!
