The 01+ MAF are the same for the LS1 and LS6, however. the LS1 versions have a metal screen on the inlet side, the LS6 version does not. This is the only difference I believe.
I also do not know how easy or difficult it is to upgrade to the late model MAF sensor, as I believe the late model also incorporates the IAT sensor in it, where the 2000 and older models had a seperate IAT sensor? I'm not really sure, but it would seem if this is the case, some wiring changes would be needed and it might not be a simple plug and play upgrade.
I'm sure someone has done this upgrade and can tell you what's all involved.

O.K., I just looked at both MAFs:
1998 C5 - wires coming out are tan, black, purple, with the tan wire closest to the MAF center
2002 Z06 - wires coming out are purple, tan, black, pink, yellow, with the the purple wire at the top of the MAF.
It doesn't look like it would be easy to do a plug and play unless you have access to lots of GM Weatherpak connectors.
