Trying to find out who owned this Bird, prior to the guy that I bought it from
I just bought this Bird, two weeks ago, from a guy in Mt Dora and he bought it from someone in the same area, about two years or so back. I'm trying to find the guy that owned it, prior to the guy that sold it to me. It has a modded LS6 and I was wanting to get the details, like the cam card, dyno results, etc., because the guy I bought it from could not find the info, so I'm hoping the other may still have the details.

If its an LS6 cam, specs are easy to find. Are you sure it has a 'modded' LS6 engine? You can tune factory cams to chop at idle. Does it has 243 heads? 2001 & '02 cars came with the LS6 intake. 2002's came with LS6 block and clutch.
I swapped my 98 with all LS6 parts. Goal was to take all the parts that made a C5Z a 'Z' over base C5 Vette (so had a reliable DD as my commuter with more pep as my drive to work was 100mi round trip) all the way down to installing Motive 4.10 gears with Auburn Pro diff. Made on my buddy's dynojet 393whp and 386wtq. Only thing I didn't have LS6-wise was I had found a FAST 78 intake mani as it was cheaper than an LS6 intakes that I could find at the time back in 2011 or 2012. Also installed the LS7 clutch kit from ws6store. Everything was done at 102k-105k miles on the clock. Ran and abused that combo til last Oct with approx 85k miles on it all.
So with 4.10 gears that chew up about 10whp on a dynojet.. An auto trans car would make 385-390whp with a full bolt-on LS6. Or a t56 with 3.42-3.73 gears could break the 400whp mark easily with a hood tuner.
