something else he needs to take into consideration though is needing new wheels and tires.

well...a least i hope that was his thought process in coming up with the idea

LSA doesnt have forged internals. it would be very similar to just slapping a s/c onto an LS3.

its gonna cost a lot more than you are looking at to out run and out corner a ZR1. even a 90's ZR1.

the LSA pumping out ~550hp, LS9 pumping out ~650hp. ZR1 weighs how much less than the Camaro?

more power + Less weight > Less power + more weight.
