This is excellent info, thank you! I'm looking at the 800-900whp level... anything beyond that isn't really necessary for my intents and purposes. I was thinking a billet block would be wise, as in, if you're going to do it, do it right the 1st time. Sort of relieved that a stock block will hold down what I want to make.

I'm already above stock LS power and wouldn't want to downgrade. If I were to go LS I'd also be looking to boost that. I'd rather stick with the VHR. Plus, I kinda find LS swaps kind of tacky.

With all this said, there aren't any other reputable builders but SOHO, Mazworks, and Dynosty?

If you want 800 to 900whp your only options are Mazworx or SOHO. I haven't seen a Dynansty build live at this HP. Read my whole thread and learn from it. If you don't, you will learn the hard way.
