Default LS3 vs. 408ci
Which one can produce more power, the LS3 or a 408ci. Also, what about the price vs. each other?

The 408 has more cubes so it will be able to make more power. I dont know the price of a new LS3 crate motor but I would imagine you could get a 408 and the necessary parts for cheaper.

Theoretically the 408 will make more power with the same mods.
Although if you do a stroker LS3 then who knows.
