How about a forged 370 for boost and can ship next week?

LME has built me some badass engines.

TMS Thompson's 408 blocks as well as their 370s have been proved by alot of people to hold good power under any setup.

I had HKE build my first engine and Texas Speed the second. Was impressed with both but Texas Speed had it done in half time. HKE seems to be overloaded and not enough help. Build time at Texas Speed was 6 weeks.
I've had no problems with it on a forced induction application!
