Default LS1 Throttle Body Compatability

Recently bought an LS1 removed from a 97 C5 and would like to replace the drive by wire TB with a cable operated one. Can I use any LS1 TB, or must I use one from a 97 LS1?
Thanks in advance

you can use any TB from a 97-99. In 00 they changed the Throttle cam so make sure you get the smaller one from any LS1 before 00.

You could use any year but like socmguy said they changed the cam size. They smaller cam on the 97-99 just allows it to hit wide open throttle quicker. Doubt youll notice a difference though.
