Wow...........Tri-state tuner, huh? I hope the only thing your tuning in your car is the radio.

A (single) experience . . . in a go-kart, maybe.

Yeah, I bet you're running into them
ALL the time.
Yes, you can remove accesories and do other things to shave weight after a v8 swap to get closer to their original weight. You can also do the same things to a stock-engined car and be lighter still....so that is hardly a valid argument for the swap.
You guys talking about the "minor" difference in the weight of an ls1 versus a 13bt need to remember that its not only WHAT the weight is but it's also WHERE the weight is.
Hold a 5 lb. dumbell next to your shoulder for five minutes....cake.....now hold it an arms length away.....not so cool. Would you rather play a football game with 5 lbs. on each ankle, or 10 lbs. on your back? Crude analogy, but it illustrates the idea.
