I read that in 98' gm had a shortage of cams for the fbody and installed a corvette cam. How could I verify if I have that cam and also what is the difference in the two? This is what I read...

25. A production shortage of F-body cams caused the use of a C5 cam to be installed in F-body LS1s for a very short time

It doesn't matter. Once you take the god awful airbox off with the "silencers" and replace it with a direct flow lid the motors make the exact same power. True story On my 98 Z28 I couldn't find a lid in stock anywhere so in true hot rodder fashion I went to fabricating my own setup. Trip down to the home depot for a sheet of plexiglass and a swing by the parts store for yellow 3M adhesive. I cut the "silencers" off and sanded them smooth and even then I glued plexi over the holes with the 3M adhesive. Cut the vanes out of the stock lid and sanded it smooth. It worked like a champ. Dynoed 300 at the wheels with just that Frankenstein lid set up the same as it did with the aftermarket lid I finally put on the car.

You mean windows cast into the block between cylinders, improved main web strength and bay to bay breathing and a revised oiling system better suited to high lateral acceleration isn't worth looking into.......?
I agree with the cam statement though. No difference worth mentioning.
