^ No harm, no foul. I just posted that as a lot of folks went to a lot of trouble to create just such a database and it seems like nobody uses it anymore.

I'm sure it's cause nobody looks. http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76551

#5. WS6s had single outlet exhaust. (all others had dual).

Incorrect

98 Camaro SS models had single outlet exhaust standard. The dual exhaust was an option.

if you reread the original post he said the buttons changed to the bottom instead the front, thats all.

i think he was talking the tips being single as compared to other firebirds w/ the bumper cutout having dual tips [4 altogether] im a little late on this huh?

oops my bad but my 95 had switches on the bottom witha small white patch on the end of the switch lever to show the switch was in the "on" position. After market maybe? My 01 has push buttons on the bottom.

Great thread. If and when I get the 02 Z28, I will have to check and see if it has the LS6 block. Great stuff!

**davidz28** · 09-06-2010, 05:48 PM

anyway to check the vin # to see if you have the ls6 block?

VIN won't tell you. You have to check the block part number.

I didn't read any where in this thread but how much of a difference is there between the cams between 98-00 and 01-02?

**najaf4life** · 09-11-2010, 07:30 AM

you can also see on the front side of the block if it is a LS6 block or not... it will have a "bulls eye" in the casting if it is a LS6 block... but for people that think your going to get 30 more hp out of a LS6 vs LS1 block... well if you really think that will happen... get a LS1 block and a LS6 block and exhange all parts from one block to another and have them both dynoed with the same parts... well your gonna be sad to see that there will not be 30 more hp.... would be lucky to even see 10hp
