I understand the more weight in the front = worse handling, and that the ls1 only weighs like 60 more pounds than the fa20 however that does not account for the transmission and other such needed modifications. I personally do not care for turbo's either, I was just asking a question in my original post and it seems like you're taking it as an offense. If that is the case then I'm sorry.

Your acting like CG is the only concern, instead of just one piece that isn't always the most important as you have made it out to be.
I didn't take offense I just pointed out you can't focus on one piece as a trump card. This is why I pointed out CG may be nice but the further forward the motor is the worse it is and you just said that yourself as well. Putting a motor thjat ends up sitting higher further back negates any CG gains of putting it further forward was basically my point.
No one said the LS vs FA was only a 60lbs difference they did a weight with corner weights of a Turbo FRS then a LS Swapped FRS. That was an overall.
Honestly I am 70% sold on the LS mainly because I have most everything but it is still easier to put in another FA and call it a day. I just don't want to experience this issue again. I built the car to be completely safe and well... that didn't really happen. If there is a fix for this issue then great I will probably just go back to the FA and be happy as I like the car the way it is. Otherwise I will most likely swap.
