OK enough. I put this up as an info only thread and don't want to have to lock it. Blackdealth next time you have an issue don't crap up my sticky, just PM the person or somthing but don't get into a e-fight in a sticky. I will be deleting yours and anyone elses posts in thread that do not have concrete info. BTW Edmunds is NOT I repeat NOT givin the correct info on these cars. All Edmunds does is regurgitate whatever the factory (GM in this case) tells them. While Tommy might have been a bit harsh and I don't condone flaming, we are getting tired of people who try and tell us that we wrong when what we are saying is fact.

 

Yeah I was a bit harsh with Black Death I guess, just very tired of the bad info (of which there is plenty in this forum). Sorry.

 

No problem. I wasn't trying to insult anyone with original post just saw everyone all over the place with HPnumbers and was trying to put out numbers I found.

 

That's understandible, but please realize that magazines and internet site like Edmunds almost never have the info or 1/4 times on cars that are correct.

 

Can a mod clean out the BS or do you guys want to leave it? I would imagine a number of post in here are pretty useless (like mine [8D])

 

I can do it, but right now I don't have the time. I just realized that your an MFBA'er. It took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together[8D], but you are out by Cordova right? My brother used to live in Albany, he worked at the Nuke plant.

 

What is the difference between the LS1 and the LS6 besides power levels? They both have the same cubic inch rating?

 

Basically better block, better cam (stock wise), better heads, better intake manifold. Here's a little piece straight from Wiki:

"The LS6 shares its basic block design with the GM LS1 engine, but other changes were made such as windows cast into the block between cylinders. An improved intake manifold, higher-lift cam, and higher compression ratio boost output compared to the LS1, and a new oiling system is better suited to high lateral acceleration."

 

Yep MFBA I live a whole 3 miles from the Track... it hurts sometimes driving past on myway home on Fridays knowing Ican't stop and race. LOL

To add to what JET said, The LS1 in 2001+ modelshas the same intake manifold design as the LS6 but not the other improvements as listed.

 

My 98 TransAm was rated at 305hp and it was dead on. I was upset with the power so I bought an exhaust system to correct the problem. It then dyno'ed 325rwhp and 340'ish rwtq. It was super slow without the exhaust, definately felt like a 260rwhp'ish car. The exhaust picked it up another 65 rwhp or so and it really pulled hard, even for an automatic!

Who says the LS1's aren't best mod for mod? 65rwhp with just an exhaust setup! I should advertise for them.
