Default 5.3 l33 or 6.0 lq4?

Like it says, im doing a turbo fox build and cant decide on the motor. Stock bottom end, s480, most likely a glide, also leaning towards a th400..95% drag 5% street IF that. I have done my research but the answers are not for what im looking for, so, for drag racing purposes, l33 or lq4? I know the l33 is lighter with thicker walls but theres no replacement for displacement...

The s480 will be maxed out wayyyy before a wall cracks, I'm not a big fan or overboring though, not enough gains for the work, so i can't speak for a 370.
