Only the 2001-2004 Z06's had the LS6 engine. All Other C5 Models had the LS1. I'm a big follower of the "If it ain't broke, Don't Fix it" Policy.
Hope this helps.

As far as I know, the throttle bodies are the same. There shouldn't be any difference between an LS1 and LS6 throttle body.

It will have the LS6 intake on the car since it is a 2004, but not sure what the differences would be for the throttle body.
