I'd take an ls3 gen6 if GM would have ever offered it, LS3 is much cheaper to modify.
I'd agree with that when it comes to boost, fueling the LT is expensive. Getting NA power out of an LT1 seems easier than an ls3, FBO LT's are making a lot of steam compared to an ls3 imo, H/C even more so though it seems it's genrally more money for an LT1 H/C package vs LS3 if paying for labor.
