LQ4 w/nitrous build ?

So I'm trying to educate myself on the 6.0's. I know the 9 has the higher comp pistons, but I'm having trouble finding a shortblock lq9. I want to just swap my 243's and possibly cam I have now into the 6.0. So would there be a whole lot of difference in the 9 vs the 4 especially with nitrous? I can find lq4 all day long, so I'm hoping it would be ok. I just didn't know how much difference in hp n/a and nitrous there would be in the two.

Are we talking stock LQ4 and LQ9? I transfered over my HCI from my LS1 to my current LQ9 and make 11.5:1 compression. I works great n/a and even better on the nitrous

With smaller shots of nitrous you won't see much difference between the two, but running n/a you would with the compression difference

Planning on usually spraying 150, but may occasionally hit it with 175-200. Also will be using the 243 heads and may use my tsunami cam, but more than likely will swap to something better.
