Corvette Heads, Cam, Intake
Hello,
I have a LS1 out of a '99 Camaro Z28, now I have the Chance to get a set of used Heads,a Cam and a Intake from a 2000 LS1 Corvette.
How much HP would I gain if I put this set onto my '99 engine

in that LS1 Performance book I read that the '99 Camaro is rated at 305hp while the 2000 Corvette is rated at 345hp, thats why I was asking.
I'm just wondering where the 40hp difference is coming from...

The difference comes from the General not admiting equal Hp for marketing purposes.
With better exhaust manifolds and true duals, output at the whells may be another 10rwhp in favor of the vette.
Internaly they are alike.

The intake manifolds are somewhat different, but the change did not come until 2001 where all the LS-1s received the same upgraded intake manifold as the Zo6. The Cams are different, the exhaust manifolds, the pipes, the cats, the mufflers, the MAF size, and the T/Bs are sometimes different. Some T/Bs that are cable driven do not open all the way at WOP. The air cleaners are different ( camaro air cleaner housing more restrictive to eliminate noise ?) Big difference in the computer programing.(Tune is less aggressive) If I am not mistaken the fuel injectors in the camaros may have a different rating also. I really don't think GM is hiding anything. The camaro out sells the vette and it's target market would buy even more of them if they made the engines hotter. The vette is GMs test project. What happens with the Rs C5r, C6r enentually filters down to the cars that they sell and everyone can afford. The C5-r was $450,000. I'm still waiting for afordable ceramic rotors. I can't afford $10.000. each rotor. Didn't mean go go on and on.
