2000 vs 2001 z28 or ss

Okay my understanding is that the 2001 and newer come with an ls6 intake manifold and the 98-2000 come with a more agressive cam. Is this true and if it is would i make more power if i bought a stock 2000 and put a ls6 intake on? Im in the process of buying so im just curious...

i'm pretty shure that the 98-2000 have the same internals as the 01-02

They do have a slightly bigger cam but i highly doubt you will be able to even tell a difference.

Agreed, and only a few 01 LS1 F-cars had LS6 intake, all 02 LS1 F-cars had them. if you want a decent cam for really cheap, get the LS6 Cam. should be able to pick one up for about $70 on here.

That is not correct. Every '01 and '02 LS1 car has the LS6 intake. All of them.

No, the '98 to '00 do indeed have a different cam. Plus some other minor internal differences from the '01+ cars.

I was curious thanks. I dont want to open the engine up yet...dont have enough faith in myself so i was trying to figure out the best route to go...ill probly get a 01 or newer, it seems the better choice due to the upgraded clutcg parts and intake. I need to learn more or have someone do a h/c
