All else being equal LS6 heads will out flow 5.3 heads. Thus making a bit more power.

from TSP,they say unless you go bigger cam or displacement wise then ls-6 heads are good,I got 5.3 heads from them,theyre higher comp. so more HP.,gotta 224/581/116cam,it all depends on your goal,if eventually you wanna go big then get the ls-6 heads.
