saving 80 lbs to get that V6 rather than an LSx engine does not seem worth it to me at all.

you are already talking about modding the engine, people have been modding the LS2 alone for nearly 5 years. all the R&D has been done for headwork, headers, CAI, Cams etc. etc. its cheaper, and responds well to said mods, Dyno tuners know the engine, and can REALLY wake them up.

and your v6 wont ever do this

How stupid. I hate huge cams in cars. Lope simply means that the engine is barely pulling enough vacuum at idle to run. And I want a street car so those big cams suck.

And it's more than "80lbs". The engine will sit further back. About 8" or so. So it's a huge difference in terms of weight balance.

My car even with the last engine was smooth and quiet at idle.

The LSx engines may have huge potential but the v6 can meet my power needs
