More cubic inches is more cubic inches. 18 more for a 6L versus a 5.7. (I did the math in my head, could be way wrong LOL) If there is no real price difference then why not go bigger?

also i was thinkin ,when i put my new water pump and ls2 timing chain in my truck ,i might put a new ported ls6 oil pump in and a ls6 cam and srings, nothing crazy but id be cheap and pep up my 5.3 until i can afford to do the swap.would and 02 ls6 cam make a decent difference?also do i have to get new lifters when i do my cam?and since i have a 4x4 do i really have to drop front diff and my oil pan completely or can just loosen it andwing it.
