a 99? not much. 241 heads, ls1 intake, ls1 block. the hp/tq rating from the factory is all a lie. they make around 305-310 rwhp bone stock. which means about 360-365 bhp.

any more questions?

LS1 intake, the 01+ F-bodies and Vettes all had LS6 intakes regardless of the trim. What are the LS6 intakes good for on a stock LS1 anyway? 10-15hp?

The engine isn't any different other than the fact that it is sitting in a way better car.

Same stuff applies to the vette as it would an F-Body engine and intake-wise, other than the vette being a drive by wire throttle body (no physical cable tied to the pedal). Mosey on over to www.corvetteforum.com and you will find a wealth of vette specific information.

A good simple mod on these cars that u can actually feel a difference (well i did atleast) is a vararam intake. Other than that some heads, and cam will do the trick also....oh and some 335 dr's
