And it really is a matter of preference among other things (cost etc.)

Either motor can be tuned safely. The amount of "boost" they can handle is somewhat irrelevant, more about HP they can handle.

Search for "LS Setups" under recent. There is a HUGE thread filled with happy LS-T users. Both are good motors, if you already have the B16 built internally then maybe go with that. Either motor will put a smile on your face and will last if tuned properly (dyno / street tune etc.). Search the archives and read more/

More about chamber temps, how you're dealing with thermal load, and whether or not you detonate.
