Default difference in ls1 throttle bodies is 98 different

i was wondering what the difference between the 98-99 throttle body and the 00-02 was i heard the spring in there is different is this true? if so what can you do to change this im looking into buying a new ls6 intake and a tb but the throttle body is off of a 00 z28 and i have a 98 t/a wondering if this would work or not it is a 78mm ported throttle body

The TB cam is a different size. In 2000 Throttle body cam was increased in size to slow the speed at which the car reaches WOT

it would need to have one of the following... 2 different cable attachment holes, an additional throttle cam or an additional bracket to alter how the cable bracket that mounts on the intake.

Castings are identical between all F-bodies, and early
trucks (pre-DBW). PCV and coolant nipples differ but
the PCV can be pulled & swapped, coolant I cut off
with a hacksaw. Cable cam has a different profile but
identical draw-to-open.

Yes, that is correct. The cooler the air the better. Even though some people think it doesn't help any, can't hurt though.

It can hurt if you live up north and ever drive through
freezing fog. I've had a carb ice up like that. One more
good reason to move....
