6.0 has way more potential but i've seen huge numbers out of boosted 5.3s as well...

then what's the big difference? if i'm going to forge both and heads and all. Say I did samething to both which of the two would have biggest displacement, or most responsive to boost. Should be the same right?

The difference between the two is the bore diameter.
