If money is not the limiting factor the bigger motor equally modded will dang near always win as far as performance goes.

Go the 6.0 route.
You wont have to rev it as high and you will make MORE power.

What he said, plus if money isn't an issue bore the 6.0 out and make it even bigger.

I run a 6.0 block, bored .060 over, with stage II heads... 2.08/1.60 valves...

With 11.2:1 compression the car has pulled 435rwhp with inadequate fuel pressure we think it will hit 465-470rwhp now. On pump gas.
