Ok if i can get a 1999 to 2001 z28 or SS Camaro for no higher thin $9k let me know i want the 325HP LS1 so i can put a chip,slp intake,and full exhaust to bump the HP to 400 i hope! i worked at a dealer and they got a newer vett that was 4A LS1 chip,slp intake,and full exhaust it was a nice car!

Some did come with some factory options, but are easily duplicated/surpassed by aftermarket parts. (air lid and exhaust are the two obvious examples)

So once they started putting the LS6 intake on a few of the 01's and then all the 02's, They changed it.... Now dont qoute me on that, I just remeber reading it somewhere. So correct me if I am wrong

You're right that there were some cam differences between the years, but I was always under the assumption that it had to do more with emissions than power. That's how they got away from using the EGR valves that the 98, 99, and maybe 2000s have.
But like I said those little tweaks and changes really didn't make too much of a difference.
BTW, my old 01 Formula with just an airlid made 321RWHP

Oh and ls1's don't use "chips" you have to get a programmer like a diablo sport. Personally I think most of us here would have Ellis (TwoFast4Lv) do a custom tune from our experience. I'd do that, get a lid, and a good set of headers and I think you'll be happy. After that I'd look at a cam.
My car ran a 12.55@113mph (see sig for video) with a Lid/Cam/Headers/(LS6 Intake Manifold as it's stock on 01/02's) on street tires.

http://www.slponline.com/ will give you info on the Lid and the Headers......
if you plan on having a shop install the headers then plan on payin a hefty price........typical shop labor time is $80-$95 an hour

Avoid the SLP headers for an F-body they are a pain in the *** to install believe me I know lol, that and they scrape on just about every speed bump even if you're not lowered. Best bank for your buck headers are probably hookers or similar from a sponsor.
As far as lids go a lid is a lid.

but, i am at work and i am bored so i will continue to answer questions as best i can......
You can't listen to what GM rated the cars out becz the LS1's in these cars are the same ones that went into the Corvettes and they were rated higher......
stock 01/02 SS Camaros have been known to dyno 305-315 whp in stock form.........
Price shouldnt be much of a difference between a Z28 and an SS unless you are looking at a Z28 with no options at all and a fully loaded SS.........
If you want more bang for your buck then you want one with no options becz the Leather and extra stereo equipment adds weight to the car......
also, i believe LS1 powered 01/02 F-Bodies had the LS6 intake manifold and the cam out of the LSx based motor that GM put in its trucks
