No stranger to the hobby, the 39-year-old service advisor knew the easy mods to free up some power from his LS1. Before tearing into the virgin engine, he established a baseline. It was secured to a Dynojet and once the rollers came to a halt, the screen displayed some incredible numbers—335 rwhp and 353 lb-ft of torque. "Since it made more power at the wheels than it was rated for at the crank, I knew something was up," he recalls. "My friend and former business partner Kyle Breise and I hunted around to see if there was anything that stuck out as being different on this car than we had seen on other cars." Using a mirror and a flashlight, they looked behind the driver-side cylinder head on the block and ran the block code—12561168. It turned out to be an LS6 block. According to LS1 folklore, around 10-15 percent of 2001 and 25 percent of 2002 F-bodies came with an LS6 block.
My secret car love. 2001-2002 trans am ws6 t-top. Loved that model as far back as I can remember.

Waste of tax payer money to justify keeping the plant I'm glad it's gone. Blatantly used Quebec as an ATM.Its pretty much unskilled labor jobs that doesn't contribute to much overall. No technical or development work was done here.I never really cared for those BUT, I really do miss the fact that one of the big 3 was in Qc.

You could make the argument that Bombardier plant is a waste but there are skilled trades, engineering jobs not to mention sub industries with the same. It's worth propping up just for knowledge alone.

Do you know how many plant managers, production engineers, quality guys came out of this place and worked in smaller shops around? Maybe GM did not invented anything in QC but they upped the production game and they provided a shit ton of knowledge on how to mass produce stuff. Without GM, I doubt all of the Mirabel fancy flying shops would be that great.
Ce n'est pas Quebec qui a tué cette usine mais le syndicat.
Le PDG de GM a visité l'usine fin 90, c'était une visite majeure en grande pompe. Le syndicat a fait une journée de grève, ont accueilli le PDG avec des huées et en brassant avec des gros bras. Apparemment quand le PDG est parti de là il s'est juré de crisser la clé dans la porte et que c'était une gang d'animaux les employés de cette usine.
C'était la même affaire avec Kenworth juste à coté, il y a un magnifique documentaire sur la saga Kenworth où on voit le syndicalisme des année 90 sous toute sa splendeur (gros sacre de fonds de bois, gros bras, menace, intimidation, bousculade et tirage de collet).
