Default LS2 vs LQ4

I have a opportunity to get a LS2 short block for 250 used for dyno runs. I have a LQ4 and was going to stroke it to a 408 and spray it to 1100 hp or so. The car will be street driven and only see nitrous a few days out the month at the no ET event or if someone talks me in a street race. Should I keep the LQ4 and sale the LS2 for more or use the weight savings
