the lq9 is the cadillac motor with a little more hp, the lq4 is the work truck motor, both are great, when you up grade the motor with cam and bolt ons the lq4-9 will see similar #s.

if your wanting to beat lightnings, definitely get a 6.0. and while its out, swap in a cam, converter, long tubes and call it a day

Lq9 has flat pistons and lq4 has dished. IIRC the lq4 has a little bit lower compression too.
