The 2001-2004 LS1 had some changes. Intake, injectors, cam, etc. I wouldn't worry about it. My stock 2000 was as fast, or faster, than any other stock C5 that I encountered. As a matter of fact, the 2000 had the most aggressive stock cam profile of all LS1s. Let me know if you want the specs.

.500/.500 . For reference the '01 Z had .525/.525 lift and was rated at 385 bhp. The '01+ LS1s got the intake, bigger maf but got smaller cams than the earlier verisons to offset the gains and keep emissions within norms.
