Okay, so now that I'm done w/f-bodies and the LS1, where can I find general info on the LS6 and maybe something that explains the differences from the LS1. Things like,

What plug type and no. should I use for street and occasional strip/track use?

Whats the best upgrade for a cam swap if I stay w/the stock heads?

What bolt-on combo works best?

BlownC5, maybe you can help?

Thanx!

NGK TR-6 plugs work well na. There are MANY cam choices out there, it all depends on what kind of driving you do. You have a good flowing exhaust with the titaniums, you don't need to change em unless you want a louder sound. Headers, a good air intake like the Honker or even the vararam if the quality has improved will give you another 20hp or so. Have fun!

:ar: This was posted under the Corvette specific section so maybe you should stay in the T/A section. This guy was looking for information not sarcasm!

if you had an 01 the only difference between the 2 motors are the heads and cam.

the window casts are different, alot of small stuff..the LS7 has a dry oil sump for better lubercation at higer speeds/Gs. and i believe the ls7 is electronic throttle "fly by wire" compared to the mechcanical throttle control. The valves are bigger and connecting rods are titianuim..oh shit you said ls6 :hide:..well the major things with that is the dry oil sump, window casting improved, higer lift cam, and new heads...but yea they are pretty much the same.
