F-body LS1 different from Vette LS1? I heard that the corvette engine(C5) has a different firing order, and i'm wondering where does the extra 20hp come from, etc.
So is the vette LS1 a completely different engine from a 98-02 fbody engine? What are the differences that I should know about? Thanks

They're exactly the same. GM just fibbed a little with the advertised HP numbers to keep the pecking order in line. Behold:

Yeah, the f-body and the C5(not the zo6 of course) are pretty much the same. the vette is lighter with better handling, but the engine is the same. GM doesn't want the f-body to step on the vette's toes, because the vette is their staple, so the f-body is rated lower than it actually is. I'm not an expert on this though, so if someone sees that im wrong about something feel free to correct me.
