what would be the benefit of the all aluminum block and 243 headed ls1 to the all cast iron 6.0s. i know theres no replacement for displacement but doesnt the ls1 have a pretty good cam and heads to begin with verses the 6.0 which would need that. am i better off getting a 6.0 for 1 k putting 1k in cam and valve train upgrades or spending 2k on an ls1?

I do things different i would choose the LS1
I also feel the ls1 will make a few more HP
WHY? LS1 with tr224 cam and full bolt-ons many have made 400hp with them
6.0 same setup 380hp takes a good set of cylinder heads to break 400
I think the LS1 gun drilled light weight crankshaft causes the difference.
Yes the 6.0 will make more torque because of cubic inches
They both good motors i dont feel one is that much better than the other.What ever one is more availbe and in price range is what i would choose!

seems that any 05+ lq4 or lq9 is about the same price as a ls1. this is gonna be a hard choice. im unsure about the electronic throttle on the 05 up. do you guys use it or convert somehow?
