TB compatibility question Is the TB the same for all LS-1 cars?
Are there year-to-year differences
between F-body LS-1 TBs? What about
Corvette TBs (will they fit & be
compatible, as far as fittings &
sensors)?

I can shift faster than you.

Re: TB compatibility question '98-'99 are the same, as are '00-'02.
The vette TBs will not work on a F-body. The throttle is controlled via the computer, so there is no throttle linkage.

Re: TB compatibility question The "cam" on the end of the throttle blade shaft, which the throttle cable is wrapped over, changed in 2000. Early ones (and LS1 truck ones) are smaller. The shape of the cam determines how the TB blade angle is related to pedal angle. I don't believe you should interchange pre 2000 an 2000+ cams. You could have cable length problems too.
Vette is completely different as Jason said, except inside the bore it's similar, and ported similarly.
