GSR vs LS
Which motor is the best for running boost on the motor a friend of mine and I are debating on either a GSR but I told him a LS would be better because it has the best bottom end. So if I am wrong please correct me.

If you mean best bottom end because it has weaker rods, a worse RS ratio, no oil squirters and lacks a block girdle then yes it has the better bottom end.
GSR has higher compression so you have to be more precise on the tune, but besides that it will make more power than the LS with the same amount of boost given all things being equal.
It really comes down to how much you want to spend. The LS motor can take plenty of power and can be had for approx $1,500 cheaper or more than your average GSR swap. Due to you having to pump more boost down its throat to make the same power the B18B/LS also makes more torque which can be fun.

P.S If financially i could afford both..I would definitely go for the b18c though.
