If better to you is more powerful then yes LS9 is better than LSA, but the LSA is still a damn good engine.
No doubt that its a damn good engine. When I say better, I mean stronger parts, more power, and more room to add power. You can't as far over the LSA's stock power rating reliably as you can with the LS9. The pistons and rods can't take the same abuse the LS9 pistons and rods can.
