I just bought a SWEET throttle body from a member ( thanks Matt ). Really nice work :D . But I made a typical newby mistake . I didnt know a 2000 T/B does not fit a 1998 . So now I have a professionally ported and polish throttle body off of a 2000 SS that I cant use . :( It already has the "bump stop mod " and "throttle shaft mod " too.
:eyes:

From what I recall, '98-'00 were the same, and '01-'02 were different.

Been a while since I had an '00 car though, I could be wrong.

I'm almost positive that the 00-02 were the same and the 98-99 had the smaller throttle cam.

98-99 have a smaller throttle cam . My throttle cable is over an inch too short .Not enough adjustment to use it . I was excited too . I love it when new parts come .
