Anything after the 98 is better. The 97-98 heads didn't flow like the 99-01 (853 castings); 02+ (241 castings) are a step more desireable than the years before.

I am just going off of the cartech book so there is a good chance I missed this one.

Yes, they do. That's what came on my car from the factory. 2001 and 2002 LS1's are identical, except for one here and there that has an LS6 block. None of the fbody LS1's have ever had LS6 heads, though, just the short block.
