This is not even a question. Dump that 4.8 and go with the 6.0, with all the boosted guys on the forum I'm sure you can sell the 4.8 without a problem.

Or or or spray that Lil 4.8l some gears stall and slicks should put you in the 12s but a 6.0 will get you there and if you want more out of it a 6.0 will be a wise investment

If this were 10 years ago I would say off it for a 6.0. If you ever plan to boost it, 12s are a easy task for the 4.8. Given it will not drive as well as the 6.0 with out being in boost. If you are only looking to spray it the 6.0 will be better in daily driving hands down. more power everywhere.

LS2, LY6, L76 is the only 6.0 you can run unless you have the crank pulled on the LQ4/9 to swap to a 58x reluctor wheel
