difference in LS1 vette and F-body I apologize if this has already been posted on before, but I'm just too lazy to do a search and then read through all the threads. But my question is, what makes the LS1 in a 'vette 350 HP, and the SS is 325 HP? Is it just a different cam, intake, etc.? What's the easiest way to make a stock SS crank out the 350 ponies?

It's just GM trying to protect the Vette, a Z28 rated 45hp below the vette will dyno just about the same. Sometimes vettes will even dyno lower than the fbody due to the different rearend (I believe, someone correct me if wrong).

JRP is the one to talk when it comes to the SEARCH button 
but yes due to all the power loss through the IRS on the vette, it will make around the same numbers as an F-body.

i thought that the 350 hp for the vette was flywheel power and the numbers for the SS and Z28 is rear wheel numbers....
i saw a stock vette lay down 285-290....same as an f-body!
the guys was kind of let down..?
