Its your car, and your decision. Don't let anyone else sway it.
I'm a bit behind the curve with the new LT series from GM, do you know the size of the block? There are a few of us who have done engine swaps and can provide some guidance, I've swapped an LS7, Chris/Scott have multiple swaps under their belt, and their are other lurkers who've done swaps who could help. We can give you some heads up for what you might need to expect.
Another benefit of the LSX series, is the massive aftermarket for them. For example, you have a large range of exotic intakes to choose from, and if you do it right, very few will know what you're running until you tell them
Feel free to PM if you'd like to chat.
