LS6 block and comp
does any 1 know if the LS6 block and comp that was "slipped" into '01-'02 f-bodies has anymore power/torque than the standard LS1? if so how much. I have a '02 Z28 35th ann. edition 6speed. it has the LS6 block and comp. i know that its the LS6 stuff because i have GM check it out and they said yes. any help would be appreciated.

Re: LS6 block and comp
The LS6's aluminum block casting deletes machined holes in the LS1 bulkhead and adds cast-in "windows" that allow better bay-to-bay breathing. On the down stroke, the pistons push air back toward the crankcase, creating back pressure that translates into parasitic power loss. With the windows, air is allowed to move more freely between crankcase bays, reducing back pressure.
That's it...nothing more.

as far as i know there is nothing unique to the ls6 computer programming, say of maybe not having provisions for EGR.
it has also been argued that the tolerances on the ls6 are a bit tighter, possibly contributing to more hp.
