not much difference in 5 hp. Check the engine numbers on it. than look it up. think its also the seventh letter in the vin that gives you the enigne class.

if you look closely it says that regular firebirds and camaro LT's with the lg4 got 165 HP, and formulas, trans ams, irocs, etc. with the LG4 got the 170.

I was unaware of this! Does anyone know the difference between the two? Probably something stupid.
