Default 5.3 or 6.0 for d1sc build?

Hey so trying to get some opinions on what block to use for my procharged camaro. Currently have d1sc at around 9 psi on stock block making 553 to the wheel and want to up the boost but obviously not on stock internals. Was thinking about going lq9 but my buddy is selling a hke 5.3 block so ya any opinions will be appreciated

Have you considered rebuilding you motor with forged rods/pistons. Then you can add good blower cam, repulley s/c & play with the big dogs. IMO

I would go with the 6.0. More cubes the better, also, with the bigger bore, it deshrouds the valves and allows better airflow into the chambers.

Add the proper supporting mods to your current motor and turn up the boost! If that's out of the question go with the 6.0.. blowers like cubic inches and you have a 4" bore for a wider variety of topend possibilities. .
