Default Engine Package

Hi all! I am looking for help on finding out what exactly my C5 has in it. When I got it from the previous owner I was given several receipts all the work was done by Vette Doctors BUT I am unable to read what they wrote on their receipts since it was by hand. I contact Vette Doctors to no avail my question is.

The reciept states RX550 Engine Package does anyone know what that entails? Injector size? What was replaced? Cam?etc..
Any info would help me because when I try and get this car tuned I want to be as accurate as possible on what was in it and what specs they are without just saying I have no clue :/

I have a Vette Doctors car. The packages are just general packages but the exact contents will depend on what was discussed between Carmen and the boys and the original purchaser.

I think the RX550 was a Forged 383 with full exhaust. Cam/head selection will depend on when it was done and what the customer wanted at the time.
