F-Body with LS6 Hi,
I have a 99 SS camero with LS1, that I just blow the motor in. I would like to know if you think it would be better to put an LS6 in instead of the LS1? I would also like to know if it will bolt up to the 6 SP trans? what else do I need to look at? or would it be beter to put an LS2 with a supercharger? I have the superchager already. any ideas would be great?

LS6 is the same bore and stroke as the LS1 with the exception of different a cam and heads. Also I think the cmpression may be different along with a breather hole in the block somewhere. that is all Im assuming.

Go for the LS2. It has more torque, and more potential with the extra displacement. 400rwhp with bolt-ons means easily 500 with H/C. I wouldn't even get power-adders or a stroker if I could make 500 N/A so easily.

Very, very few cars I have heard of hit 400 with just bolton's also. If you already have a supercharger go ahead and use it. Which one is it?
