I believe the ls1 and v6 cars from 98-02 both had the same two piston calipers as the corvette, but the corvette has an 11" rotor which is better than the f bodys. So relocation brackets, SS lines, new pads and rotors should maybe run 500.

If you're v6 has 350hp with bolt ons they my ls1 with bolt ons has 550hp...

Socom that might be right, what about z06 brakes though?

They are the same for the c5. But the calipers on the c5 were made better. And I was mistaken, the c5 uses 13" rotors while the camaro gets 12"
