> The reason the Camaro’s LS1 has less power than the Corvette’s LS1 is mainly because of the restrictive exhaust they tacked onto it. The corvette has a true dual system. Also, many owners have put their Z28s on a dyno and obtained Corvette numbers, so there is a theory that GM underrated the HP numbers of the F-bodies to keep the Corvette as the flagship car.

Yes, I didn’t realize I said that until now. lol. I had mustangs on my mind.

I never said the LSx WASN’T reliable. I just said they’re not as super realiable as everyone thinks.

From what I’ve been told by the mechanic at the dealerships here. Is that the extra power comes from the ECU.  
And it was for that exact reason they do it. Vette’s are their flagship car.
