That I will have to look into. I was just concerned over the 8.1l using too much oil. I have a sidemount Magnacharger that I hope will fit on the 6.0l if I decide to go that way.

I have a 6.0 in my truck and wish every day that I had an 8.1. The extra torque would be very nice, especially offroad and towing. The saying there is no replacement for displacement is true.

I went from a 2001 6.0 Suburban to a 2002 8.1 Suburban. I'm very happy with the choice! 
2002 8.1 Silverado HD - Full Throttle lift, 37" tires, 4.56 gears, Comp Cam, TOG headers, Volant induction plus more! Heads, cam and intake manifold upgrade coming soon!
2002 8.1 Suburban -Intercooled Whipple supercharger, 22" wheels/tires + more - 407hp/558 ft-lb torque at the rear wheels - 13.93 @ 95.79 MPH

6.0 - more mods out there for less $$, better gas mileage, and plenty of power stock. If you tow a bunch, and you want to leave it stock, then definately go for the 8.1. If you plan on modding at all though, then don't bother.
