What engine do you go with? I`m thinking an aluminum V6, but who makes the best one that`ll rev nice and high and sound like it likes it?

V6's have inherent issues (splayed center journals for starters) not to mention any good V6 making anywhere near that power is DOHC. This is going to move the COG up significantly over stock and probably over an LSx swap because the LS motors are pushrod, keeping them compact.
That much power in as close to factory as possible? Go forced induction on the stock engine.
