hehehehe yup!! i hope when the 305 is all done, i will be in the mid 13's and maybe get some unsuspecting GTO or GT driver!! cant wait for one of thoes kills. But, it would be nice to run low 13's stock. LS6+6spd+Third gen=Gods gift to fbodies.

Yes.

Why did I sell it? I couldn't do want I wanted to do with that car. I bought it to take place of my '88, it was to get the 357/AFR/SR/Yank powertrain. I really wanted just one car that looked great and was pretty fast.
Well after I got it, I quickly realized that it was just too nice to hack up, couldn't bring myself to puting in a more finicky engine and such. So I kept both for a while.
Decided I really wanted a stick.......in the '92, but again couldn't do it, also wantedo Procharge it. I was afraid after modding it it may have, you know those little quirks that seem to always come with heavy mods.
So I went 4th gen, got my stick, got my nice car, got my fast car, got no quirks (as of yet). I'm just as happy in the LS1 4th gens as the 3rd gens, but it does lack that "something special" feel that the '92 had.
Sorry Joe, the '88 doesn't have it

This is the best I can do. I never had them clean at the same time. Forgive the background.

LS6 has a stronger block, better heads and cam along with valve train... LS6's only came in the Z06. Fbodies and C5 vettes got the LS1, but some LS6 blocks, not the engine, went in with the mix of engines starting in 01. Some LS1's have LS6 blocks. as of '03, all LS1's have the stronger LS6 block.

just some info for ya.

Nope... but people are calling the next Gen IV small block the LS2. I can only assume there will be an LS7.
