LS1 diferences
Hey guys i was curious if someone can tell me the difference between a 99 LS1 from a camaro and an LS1 from a 02 Corvette? I have a 02 longblock but am not sure if i would benefit from doing a swap. thanks for the help

The only major difference is the LS6 intake on the 02 block. There are some other minor things, and imo, I don't think the swap is worth the time or money. Definatly change out the intake manifolds though.
I'm sure some others will help out too.

i would keep the 99 block as it has a bigger cam in it than the new one has. if the new one has the intake put it on the 99. in 01 they put ls6 intake on but a smaller cam. but i am not an expert, i just know that. there are other differences and like jd13 said im sure more people will help answer your question.
i don't think it would be worth it IMO

That 14.04 doesn't sound right for any LS1. Are you at altitude? How hot is it in Louisiana now(90s and 70%RH?). What's your race weight? I wouldn't trust the G-tech too much. Take it to the track, you'll probably end up getting better traction than on the street.
Oh yeah and I think the exhaust manifolds were redesigned in 2000 (worth 5rwhp).

Maybe it's your clutch???
I don't think the block swap would be worth it unless you happened across a LS6 block, but even then I wouldn't bother unless you planned on throwing in a head/cam package along with it.

yea they were.redesigned
he just has a long block which i don't think comes with exhaust manifolds. that and it is from a vette
:0
and the g-tech thing is definetly bs. i have never heard of any ls1 f-body do that crappy.
