I think the engine noise from the F136 is going to be a lot more tingly than a LS1.
You have to weigh both engine and transmission, a lower torque higher RPM drivetrain will not weigh as much. On the flipside, a high RPM engine needs much stronger connecting rods, pistons, and crank. I would imagine the gearbox is lighter fitted to the F136, however, the variable multi cam high revving engine is carrying a lot of extra pounds to get the horsepower from the smaller displacement lump.
