I believe the 01 and 02's have an aftermarket intake from the factory? I know theres something different between the intakes. With slightly more power.

'01s and '02s have the factory ls6 intake. Same as the z06 except a different part number for some reason.

I've heard '98s have a slightly bigger cam though?

Ls6 intake thats why I kept thinking aftermarket thanks. For some reason I never think about the ls6.

the 98 cars have a unique pcm that is somewhat of a limitation when going f/i

From what I heard the 98's had computer issues that got worked out in 99+ cars. I doubt the cam is bigger. The 01+ cars make 5 more horse

And actually the 01-02's had a smaller cam than the 98-00's.
