from what i know its suposed to come with 2 tb cams that you can swap.
about a year ago i ordered a summit racing tb thats the same as the profesional products tb and it came with 2 cams.
i also think 98's and 99 both had the same tb cam i think they went with the bigger cam in 2000.
call up bbk tomorrow

And you aren't using the factory throttle cable bracket why? Bought mine off a guy with a 2000. He used his stock bracket and it worked fine. Threw it on my 98 using the stock bracket and it worked fine.

Like crashinaz said.I bought a bbk that my friend had on a 98 and I put it on my 2000 and it worked fine.From what I remember you have to use the spacer plate or it won't work properly.I also used the stock bracket and it worked good on both cars.
