Yep, pretty much the case. There 'may' have been a slight change in the TB/cam that opens the blade, not sure and someone should chime in..

The tb cams are different on 98-99 cars than on 00-02. They swap pretty easy though.

Do I have to swap out the cam? Or will either work?

You will need to change the throttle cam, they are not ALL interchangeable, although within the years they are the same (98-99 and 00-02) they are able to be swapped with no modification. If you are trying to use a 98 TB on an 02 (or vice versa) then you will need to swap the throttle cam to get it to work properly.

The 2004 GTO TB will go on a 00-02 Fbody as well.
