The C5 vetts came with LS6's in the Z06 model which was produced from 2001-2004.... 01-02 came with 385hp, 03-04 came with 405hp do to having sodium filled valves.... As far as GM making Forged components, I dont think they do but I could be wrong....

True Dat.... GM never made any forged motors..... But he very well could have forged the motor with aftermarket components.....
