fully dressed LS1 in a 944 is about 15 Lbs lighter than a 944 Turbo. about 35 pounds heavier than a n/a 944.

Nice. I just do not get the hate for the 944/951 series engines. Especially since they are some of the more reliable factory Porsche engines in stock or near stock configurations.
Edit: I just don't get it, I'm sorry. I do not buy a Honda, complain about it being FWD and not having much torque, and proceed to swap in an Audi A4 Quattro drivetrain. Likewise, it is not like Porsche does not have a factory V8 option. Cheap and Porsche does not go together. Again, certain applications may warrant it or if it really 'your thing.' However, I know if / when I heard any Euro car rolling up sounding like an old Chevy, I'm disappointed.

Without getting into another 951 2.5 vs LS1 debate...
I don't really see the LS1 swap being worth it. The 951 engine is plenty capable. My dyno, quite a while ago, with a stock long-block, K27, exhaust, and fuel/tune:
I guess if you want to lug around at 1500rpm... then the V8 is for you
But 1500rpm doesn't feel like a sports-car to me, rather a diesel.

And my engine only left me stuck twice. First time was a DME failure (not really the engines fault). Second time was when I severely over-revved it, promptly throwing a rod (my fault, not the engines).

Nice! That's a great motor, and a fun car to drive.
