Default Whats faster?..

I know this is a newbie question....but im gonna ask it anyway..

Whats faster a turbo 4.8 rcsb or a 6.0 rcsb? For the longest time ive wanted one or the other and Im starting to put the funds together to do so. The setup would be a turbo 4.8 or a 6.0 with a nice cam, and I would like to run mid-low 12s.

They both have ups and downs.

With the 4.8 turbo, you have to worry about changing head gaskets alot if you run high boost, but at the same time you would have to do an extensive motor swap to a 6.0

What about tranny? Rear end?

A turbo 4.8 running 15lbs is equal to an 9.6L.....

That option wasn't there. See my reply for Bill. It applies here too.

Is this a DD?
