Default 5.0 GT Motor Build - Machine Shop?

Hey guys,

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to the Mustang here in Orange County, CA but have been around the block with a few other import cars.

I'm looking to build a 2013 5.0 GT to run 800-1000HP and hopefully high 9's.

I'd like your guys advice on where to get the bottom end built with reduced compression pistons and forged rotating assembly. I can pull the motor myself but want to find a good machine shop.

Also any suggestions as to FI recommendations to run 9's?

THanks!

Turbo all the way. I know a guy that had a V6 with a Procharger and at 17 PSI he was putting less power down than when he switched to a turbo and ran less boost.
