I don't think the weight difference would help all that much considering the 27hp/87tq deficit.
Not saying the LFX would win. However, look at the torque curve of the LFX. It makes 250 tq from way down low to almost red line. The LS1 one kill it off the line, but after that the LFX will be near peak power the rest of the way down the track with the right gearing. Lower the weight to that of a 4th gen and the LFX with the right gears is a 13.5-13.7s car easy.
