Default What did GM do to get to 405 HP

I know the 20HP and 20/lbs of torque. But, What I am looking for is what did they do differently from 2001 to 2002 to add the 20HP?

Also, what are the differences in the '01 vs. '02?

Valve train control and cat converter tech.

What they did is impressive, what comes next will amaze.

Intake mostly
There were no changes to either the LS6’s intake manifold or its cylinder heads. John Juriga: "The intake manifold was already pretty darn good. We designed it to handle additional flow rates because composite intakes are very expensive to retool and develop. The same was true with the heads. The intake and exhaust ports flow sufficient quantities of air."

Cam, intake, eliminate pre cats, lighter liquid filled valves (for the more aggressive cam).

The reason I ask is that I am looking at an '01 ZO6 and was wondering what it would take to get the 405HP?

The reason I ask is that I am looking at an '01 ZO6 and was wondering what it would take to get the 405HP?
I am in the process of upgrading my 01. Heres what it takes.

-02/03 Exaust center section (with newer cats/no pup cats)
-02/03 Intake box lid
-02/03 MAF Mass Air Flow Sensor
-02/03 Cam
-02/03 Valves (intake & exaust)
-02/03 Valve springs

Keep in mind these are just the things they changed on the motor to get the 20hp. They made a few other minor changes between 01 and 02. Such as revalved rear shock, changed the sway bar end links, and added HUD.

If I were you, I would just get an 02 or an 03.

Buy the 2001, put an aftermarket cam (like MTI ) headers, intake and pulley on it and get 400 RWHP!! Problem solved! My friend has a 2001. When we were both pretty much stock, I was killing him. When we both got pretty much the same cam and bolt ons it was even, so then i had to go get heads!!!!
