i figured they never put the LS6 in the camaro, but if there was one it would be an S for the 8th digit, but im sure they never did.

I was doing some searching and found this thread. So, a stock 01 or 02 WS6 has how much of a power advantage over stock 98?
I will spend most of my money on road course driving events (not racing). So, I will probably never get more power than 400 at the wheels. I'm thinking that I shouldn't let the whole "LS6 intake and block on 01+" issue influence my purchase very much. Should I?

also, just to clarify, some 99's came with 241 heads as well.
well my 350-370hp was for the LS6 engine, not for the LS1 engine....Basically referring to the Z06 Corvette...
Yes, I understand this as being dyno information for the c5 z06 vette, but he might not and this is a camaro topic. No disrespect intended, but it might not have been clear to him....sorry.

I know the the curved part of the D points down so there's less resistance to flow vs. a square port (ls1). Plus you gotta think chevy was building this motor knowing it was for the Z06 (more of road racing application than the Ls1) Not sure exactly why they did it lol but i know its there b/c I got into an argument w/ some1 who swore an LS6 block was exactly the same as an LS1 
Maybe the older dudes can shed some light on the advantages of the LS6 Passages?

Doesn't a "much smaller camshaft" contribute to much less wear and tear on the valvetrain components? If the answer is yes, then how many more miles do you think that would be worth on a stock engine?
actually the smaller cam gave it a little more punch on the low end but nothing in the high end, as in, no max hp/trq gain, just a little bump in the bottom end... at least according to GM...
Dont you think that if there was a WAY better block or "ls1" out there to have, people would be talking about it, or it would up on this site in a hundred posts?!? Everyone knows that late late 00'-02' fbody ls1's were a lil better than the early ones as MOST engine are, due to more efficient designs added from the first years, etc. With the added Ls6 intake and possible block, id take one over the early years, plus, 98 computer is a pain in the *** to tune.

as someone already said, an LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. NO fbody came with an LS6 engine, cam, or heads stock. The LS6 intake and the bigger camshaft cancel each other out so that makes them pretty damn near equal. the only LS1s that are supposed to be weaker are the 98s, (weaker rod bolts i believe) but if youre building the motor anyways, the even that doesnt matter. id worry more about mileage and abuse of the engine than which has a biiger cam/ls6 intake. An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1.....
I'm curious to know how long the stock engine would last on a regular basis without modification and proper maintenance.
I'm willing to bet these cars (die) 9/10 because of a accident
