I was under the impression it was, some one told me its not. please explain what the differences are? only 97-98 C5 I know the LS6 intake and better cams came along a few years later.

 

The intake is box is different. And i think that the F-body LS1's are cable driven throttle bodies and the Vette's are electronic. I can't be certain as i've never owned a LS1 F-body. I do think the EGR was not on the LS1's in '98+ though.

 

power wise they should be the same right? I mean is the LS1 used in the C5 more beffed up with 4 bolt mains, different cams etc?

 

Well, the corvette has a freer flowing exhaust, but engine wise, yes.

 

same motor and they acually have 6 bolt mains.

 

Same cam/intake manifold, different exhaust manifolds... IIRC Think the tb is the same size, just drive by wire.

 

Throttle body [ETC], Oil Pan, and Camshaft are the biggest differences and the lack of EGR on the Vettes. The cam differences are not enough to show a performance gain. The F-body cam has more lift but less overlap.

 

shouldn't the fbody be faster from a dig?

 

'98 LS1 is a '98 LS1. Some of the accessories are different vette to F-body (TB cable vs wire, exhaust system, and no EGR for the Vette), otherwise the engine is the same.

 

search is your friend. 6 bolt mains, and only one cam. we arent ricers here and we dont need more cams like ford does to make a fast car.

 

Cam is the same.

 

try a search

 

cam is different.

1998 F-body:
209/198 .500/.500 119.5

1998 Y-body:
207/199 .479/.472 117

 

GOt the rest of the years? '98 F's are one year wonders

Everyone needs to get into the " New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech" and read the stickies in there. All of this info has been gone over countless times.

Everyone needs to read JRP's sticky.

 

Beat you with my edit That thread doesn't address Ycar cam Vs Fcar cam.

 

once they get 10 posts they "graduate" from that section.

 

Alright you escape

Damn you guys quote me fast...I thought I was bit harsh so I edited it down a bit.

 

they may be one year wonders, but the engine in question is the 1998 LS1, and the cams are different. but i agree, people need to search.

 

I hadn't tried the search button in weeks. It's rarely working.
