Default LS engine builders in Indy area?

Who do you guys recommend to build an LS engine in Indy? Thanks for any info you can pass along. This is my first LS build so I want to be sure I use a shop that familiar with how to build these engines.

I too have used them 2 times and had great results. (I had them rebuild a 5.7L LS1 and a 6.0L LQ4) Not to mention they are VERY reasonable and build quality pieces. GL

Mike Norris specializes in LS motors. He is new to the Indy area but was well estbalished in Florida. I have seen his shop first hand it is very clean. You might give him a call. It is Mike Norris Motorsports(?) I think. Could be Mike Norris performance I can't quite recall. I think he is a forum sponsor.
