The intake is more restricted in the camaro. Don't know the other differences but it is the same basic setup. Kinda like comparing a vette lt-1 to an lt-4.

I thought that the vette LT1 has four bolt mains while the camaro LT1 has 2 bolt mains. I am not certain though. The intact duct (hose, air filter) and exhaust are obviously different.

The exhaust is the biggest restriction on a F body car. The Vettes got real dual exhaust and the f body's have a single pipe of the same size (2 3/4")

The LT1 itself in the f-bodies is exactly the same as the Vette other than the f-body engines are 2 bolt mains and the Vettes are 4 bolt mains. The other differences are in the air intake (before the TB) and the exhaust, but these aren't really engine differences, just car differences. Stock to stock, an f-body will typically dyno 20-30 RWHP less than a Vette LT1 due to those two differences.

Evan is correct only change in the actual motor is the 4 vs. 2 bolt mains. However, if the LT1 motor was blown the replacement motors from GM were 4 bolts.
