I don't see how a girdle would improve anything on the Gen III+ motors. The main caps sit recessed into the block and are tied in side to side by the 5th and 6th bolts on the main caps.
I understand the purpose on the 2 or 4 bolt main motors, it locks all the main caps together because they don't have any support side to side.

I can't see how it makes any difference on an LS block.
A conventional Chevy motor has its main caps secured side to side but not front to back. These LS blocks tie in side to side and front to back... a girdle will tie all the caps together, essentially not allowing any single cap to flex side to side.
