Cams are for the most part the same, although there are some variations by year.

Just do exhaust modds such as headers and a good cat back and put in a nice cam and that alon will outweigh the Vette motor by far. I see no need to upgrade to a Vette motor, the only advantage would be 4 bolt mains IMO

Magnaflow is the cheapest I beleave...Corsa, Borla and GMMG are expensive as far as stainless goes. Hooker is aluminized but it is a good value and sounds and flows great.

You'll see about a 10rwhp with full exhaust.

If you do the real full exhaust (Headers and catback), you are looking at 25-35 rwhp.

As far as internal engine components: cam and the 4-bolt mains are the only differences that I am aware of. The cam differs by 1 or 2 degrees depending on the year. I have the specs somewhere if anyone really wants to know. The rated hp difference is part hype and part real. The real difference is primarily due to the better exhaust and intake system on the 'vette. The cam may account for a couple of hp at most.
