The F-body was rated at 275 hp, the Y-body at 300 hp. There were subtle differences in the motor like cam lift etc.

Your lt1 came with syn motor oil - stay with synthetic that meets the specs in your owners manual.

No need to change the stat. If you want the cooling fans to come on sooner get a chip burned by one of the tuners. IIRC fans don't turn on until water is over 230

Welcome and enjoy the car!

F-Body LT1's have an oil cooler, Corvette's don't. That's why syn was used in Vettes.
