Too many variables. And psi doesn't mean anything, it all depends on your power goals. Your turbo may max out before you reach your goals, or the turbo may push too much boost for the engine to handle.
What kind of compression are you looking for with the d15b? If you went higher compression (say 10:1), you would be faster over the LS. Other wise the LS would be faster, theoretically.

well, i want as much hp on pump as i an get, and from my understanding i can get more power on pump aslong as i stay around 9.0:1cr, and high compressions like 10.0:1+ would make less hp on pump, but alot more on race gas. Is this correct?
its my daily driver, and will see the track now and then, but mainly i just want it quick on the street.
