If you plan on turbos, don't waste your money with an ls6. Forge an ls? with low comression pistons, decent heads, then do the turbos. An ls6 will bolt up right in place of an ls1. Unless you grenaded your ls1, I wouldn't switch. Not saying they aren't great motors, but by the time you change pistons for boost, swap heads and cam, on either motor, you have the same engine. Just my .02. Many vendors sell turbo kit for the f body.
