It is ALL true, iron or aluminum block doesn't matter. Those were just the basic designations of a few motors. I could go into extreme detail, but decided against it. And the article you are referring to used an LQ4, a lower compression 6.0 iron block, because it responds to boost a whole lot better.

i really want to do a lemons/chumpcar, but i dont know of any teams or anything in the SA area. hell, id be down to wrech on the car and not drive. just provide an extra set of hands during the build.
lol. I'm away for most of the day and look where this thread has gone 
I sadly have *nothing* in the garage for parts anymore. 4 years ago, I had extra motors, transmissions, turbo setups, welders, presses, etc. Sold all of it off. Well, I still have my fire jacket
I kinda just walked away after the IB stuff went down on 'Tech. Demoted myself from admin to a regular user, let my PM box fill up, logged out, and haven't been back. Sometimes I miss it. Those were good times. From what I understand, the community there has completely changed.

Hmm, good info... Not interested in joining another forum, so the education here is much appreciated. I still say a Q doesn't look like an S, lol...
yup. the first LS engine was the LS1 which debuted in the C5 Corvette in '97. All V8 gas Chevy engines to date, except the new LT1 in the C7, are LS-based. The ONLY non-LS gasser Chevy V8 in the past decade or so would be the Vortec 8100 which is based off the old BBC (pre-LS).
whether it's an LS1, LS6, LS4, LS2, LS3, or LQ4, LQ9, L92, etc., they are all considered an "LS".
Cams for mod motors are crazy costly!
Lucky for us the cams have been in the 700hp/torque area.So it's not really worth replacing them for the 20-40Hp gains. Normally the people who run them are built N/A motor or people that have more money then sence.
I just put a junk yard 5.4 in a buddys car, with forged rods and pistons and a home built turbo kit. $2200 into it and it puts down 522/650 stock heads cams and intake. $6-7k total into the car/parts and its 10 sec capable.
