Default T/A LS1 vs. GTO LS1

This is probably a simple answer but the LS1 in a Trans Am is rated at (320 hp Ram Air/305 non) and the GTO 04' is rated at 350 hp), but they're both LS1's.

Whats the difference in the engines? Thanks

Nothing. The numbers are bullshit.
01-02 claimed 310hp and 325, 98-00 claimed 305-320.

Weight, handling. Power, the t/a has an advantage because of the straight axle.
