no difference in HP

only difference is drive-by-wire throttle body, location of alternator, fuel rail covers.

Oilpan is different
Camshaft specs are probably different
Throttle body (mechanical vs electric C5)
Crank pulley and accessory pullies and belt path

Same heads
Same block
Same intake
Same crank
Same pistons
Same rods
Same valvetrain
Same rockers
Same lifters
Same timing chain

The C5 345hp & the Fbodies 305 & 320 .

The difference it's pullies & cam but why the C5 it's higher than F-body 40 hp's?
what about the exhaust did it worth?

Thank you in advance

The C5's are rated at the flywheel, and the F-Bodys are rated at the wheels. Theres your 40 Hp.....

That flywheel and rear wheel HP difference is only a 10% loss. I know the cam profiles are different and the exhaust is a little more free flowing on the Corvette. But, I think the big thing is that the F-body LS1 is under-rated for marketing reasons so as to not step on the vette's toes.

I agree, Lets say ole joe blow walks into the chevy dealer and just wants a fast car. If both were advritised with the same amount of hp, hes gona go for the cheaper car, the F-body

Actually they don't. At least for 98-00 F-bodies vs C5 the cams were different. Which is why the F-bodies have EGR and the C5 didn't.

´01-´02 f-body and ´01-´03 y-body all have the same cam part# 12561721 in the LS-1 .479/.467 207/196 lsa 116. Check it out. In the earlier models there is some difference fx in´00 there is a different lsa but same lobe. The SAE hp raiting for both cars is fly wheel, but one or both of them is not accurate.
