Not to be a dick, but whoever told you that........Quit listening to them. Horses weigh a lot, horse **** weighs a little, horsepower doesnt weigh anything. Components used to gain, or free up horsepower may or may not weigh any extra, but the horsepower itself doesnt weigh anything.
If youre into learning about making more horsepower, of just freeing some up, youre in the right place. There are several members here more than willing to help a newbie learn.

Either way. Not true. As stated they are the same.

Difference in the 4.8 and 5.3 is the stroke of the crank and the pistons, both the 4.8 and 5.3 have the exact same engine block. Difference between the 5.3 and the LS1 is the LS1 is aluminum block and has a larger bore size, crank stroke is the same. 5.3 can be bored to accept LS1 size pistons making it what is commonly refered to as a "Iron Block LS1". So now you have a little insight into 4.8,5.3,5.7 basic block differences. There is also a aluminum block 5.3. You have lot's to learn and the first thing is all LS engines have a great deal of power potential, the LS1 is good but other engines can be had much cheaper.
