That was an interesting thread. Really don't understand why it was closed. I think both sides of that argument make sense to some degree.
I would bet with the V6 guys on maximum power with an 88mm or smaller turbo. It's very obvious to me that after playing with these turbos for a while, the smaller (and sometimes less efficient) engines make more power with the same turbo for the most part. The compressor maps give you the answer to that.
However, I think the V6 guys are crazy if they think it's cheaper to go 9s with a v6. And the weakest LS aluminum block is still much stronger than the 109. Hell even a stock crank/block LS can run deep in the 8s. And no need for aftermarket EFI in that range either. And it's easier on transmissions because they move the air to spool up the bigger turbos easier.
