    F-body LS1 differences from Vette LS1?

    I heard that the f bodies have a different cam. This makes the f bodies detuned? I'm not very knowledgeable about cams. Can anyone explain the differences if this is true?

    I don't think there was too much difference in the actual motor. But the reason the vette HP was rated higher was because the exhaust manifolds on the vette flow way better than the F-body. Actually the whole exhaust flows better!!!

    yes it's true dual and probably flows better as well. I've heard that the cam is different too.

    The timing tables in the Vette are more aggressive and the AFR is leaned out a little more from the factory too. It's a combination of better flow and a "hotter" tune for the '01+ cars. Not to mention...the ~200lb weight difference.

    I don't really know much about "internal engine" but i'm assuming that dur, lift, lobe spread has something to do with intake and exhaust, etc.
    Can someone explain to me what numbers or specs on a cam make it more aggressive or generate more power?

    It's very complicated. You can start reading here if you'd like...

    Of those cams, the '00 Vette cam looks to be the most powerful. However, they're still stock cams. A very common aftermarket LS1 cam has 224/224 intake/exhaust duration and .581/.581 intake/exhaust valve lift with the stock 1.7:1 rocker ratio. It's usually ground on a 112 or 114 LSA. That's still a relatively mild cam. Mine's a little more aggressive with a 232/238 duration and ~.600 lift on a 112 LSA.

    Am I looking at that right ?

    Looks as though the 98 -00 Fbody LS-1 have one of the better cam's.

    Even in the link above seems to say the same...........
