Yup...
The LS is a *longer* engine than the FA20, so even shoved further aft its c.g. is going to be about the same location, and it's heavier... Factory distribution is 55F/45R, I've seen 56F/44R for LS swapped. Hopefully yours is better! You should be OK at the strip with dedicated drag radials and sticky launch surface. Might suffer a bit on normal street tires though. Anyway, point being I think that tire choice is going to be more important at the drag strip than outright width.
