Any big difference? Threw a rod in my 98 Z about a month ago, now she has an LS1 from a 00 Z. Are their any major differences between the 98 and 00 LS1? I know that 01-02's have the LS6 intake and no EGR... but is their anything different between these two?

Yea it says different heads... I thought it might of meant Better heads, as in better flowing... not something like that hah. It also says the cam is different in the write up? I already knew the intake was the same before I posted this.

As for the 806 heads from '98, vs. the 853 heads from '99-'00, there is no difference besides the valve covers and coil pack hardware arrangement....no internal advantages between those two.
I think you might have read it wrong, or there is an incorrect passage somewhere. The only part that mentions the cam for '98 is this:
14. 1998-2000 cars had a larger cam than the 01-02 cars

The only heads that are marginally better in stock form are the 241 heads found on all '01-'02 cars (and some very late '00 cars). The difference with 241s is a better casting process which may result in slightly better flow.

....and that is correct. '98-'00 cam had a slightly more aggressive duration and lift than the later cams.

Ahh yes... I did. Either way... I've concluded that I should get a bit more hp/tq from the better flowing exhaust manifolds. And correct me if I'm wrong, but would the larger TB cam hurt my throttle response a bit when I floor it and go WOT?

All the larger TB cam does is require more pedal input for the same amount of throttle blade response as with the smaller TB cam. So the end result is that a bit more pedal travel is needed for equal throttle blade position.

Yes, the '00+ exhaust manifolds are superior in flow to the '98-'99 style.
At WOT, there is no difference in performance because the throttle blade is fully open with either cam.
