As far as I know they will all bolt up. I saw one where someone put a ported one on their 01 car from an older car and the TB blade was not opening all the way because of that cable. So, what you said would make sense. Give it a shot and let us know what your result is.

Yep, just the cams are different. You can swap the cams (loosing the faster ramp rate), or make a spacer for the throttle cable at the pedal to take up the slack. I have heard that on TCS cars you can adjust the throttle cable, so if you have traction control you might want to check that out.

No your right, the 98-99 have the smaller cams and do open quicker. But if you where to swap cams to match your cable you'd loose the ramp rate. I have a truck TB in mine which has the same cam as the 98-99s. What I did with the throttle cable was, took a peice of aluminium brake line, cut it to length, used a Dremel to slice it length wise so you can slide it over the cable, then use the spacer to take up the slack at the pedal and I covered it with two layers of wire shrink wrap so it wouldn't pop off. It has worked great for a year with no issues.
