I am new to the LS1 f body world and looking to get into a camaro or firebird. I was wondering what are the differences between the Z28 and the SS. is it the cam or something internal or is it bolt on and tuning?

first of all, all SS camaro's started out at Z28 from the factory
some of the differences however of the 1999 SS and the Z28 are that the SS has a true Ram air hood a kick *** spoiler, better suspension, 17 by 9.5 inch rims as oposed to 16 by 8 inch on the Z28 everything else i believe is the same both have the LS1 with the 241 casting heads.
the SS had the same stuff done to it as the Fire Hawk did the WS6 want to ASC and got pretty much the same stuff but not exactly
however the 2001-2001 SS Camaro's had a LS6 intake manifold and some had a LS6 block which is pretty much the same thing except for how the cooling lines are run. they still had the same Cam and the 241 casting heads. the only thing that added power is the LS6 intake manifold
here is a link about how to tell the difference on the LS6 block and the LS1 block but again there is not power change between the two blocks the only thing that changed power was the intake manifold but that was only on 2001-2002 F-bodies

An SS is a Z28 with SS stickers, hood, rear spoiler, 17" wheels, some suspension stuff is different on an SS. And with an SS you had the option of ordering additional SLP content that you could not get with a Z28.
Here are my RPO code stickers. The SS has no rear defrost, the Z28 has no CD changer. Otherwise they're damn near the same car. The SS has an LS6 block
The FE4 is a suspension upgrade over the Z28's FE2, but the SS has no additional SLP content.
