I can't seem to find weight info on the LSA with the heat-exchanger and all the ancillaries to compare against the lsx.
Since this is going to be 90% street car so I'm not interested in peak horse power and having to rev the engine out. I also know the LSA and LSX aren't the lightest options, but again ... not-race-car.
Any opinions on which way to go? I'm insanely indecisive.

Out of the choices given, go with a 416 LS3. Less weight is better no matter what you're doing. If you want better fuel mileage or a lighter more nimble car for handling.
