Default 2003 LS6/ZO6 cam (405 HP)
Just purchased a TR220, so this question is really just out of curiosity.

Someone posted that the 2002 and 2003 LS6 both use the same cam P/N.

Wasnt the 2002 LS6/ZO6 something like 385 HP, while the new ZO6 is 405? Now, I know this is not rwhp, but I would think the 2003 ZO6 at 405 advertised HP would have a bigger cam. If not, where do you suppose they got the extra 20 ponies from?

Thanks,
Ron

It was the 2001 Z06 that had the 385hp rating. The 2002 and up Z06s all have the 405hp rating. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Both the 2002 and 2003 models were rated at 405 HP and should be identical in all ways except the 50th aniv. badging. the 2001 model was the one around 385.

You guys are really up on this stuff <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Well, that explains the smaller cam in the 2001 LS6 vs the 2002.

Maybe the hot ticket will be that 2004 GM ZO6 cam. Oh well, bet it still won't be as agressive as the TR220. But, who knows

Thanks much for the info,
Ron
