has everything but the LSX models, thats where your performance starts to jump through the roof. The LT cars are dogs, hope there aren't any LT1 guys snooping in here :noid

Yeah, the new Camaro makes good hp but is just so damn heavy now.  Good to see the 2 are competitive!

The Camaro seems to be about 200lbs heavier than the similar Mustang.  Not too bad, but still needs a diet.

mines not stock any more, soon to be far from stock.

If I could find some 243 heads and an LS6 cam, neither would mine.  At this point looks like I'll be doing headers first.

Used ones.  Since the LS7 came out the LS6 heads (used) have been hitting the market and getting snatched up just as fast.  If you knew anything about the 01-02 LS1 put into f-body's, you'd understand.

i haven't been up on chevys enough to know. that;s why i asked.

try www.car-part.com

it's an internet database of scrap yards. you can select the region you want to look in. i've had VERY good luck finding "hard to find" things through them.

If I have one of those "sneaked in" LS6 blocks I'm going to do a factory style upgrade, as if GM slipped the Corvette LS6 from the factory.  If not I'll probably do what you are doing...maybe.
