Default LS6 timing chain question

Quick ? Is the LS6 timing chain the same as the LS2 timing chain? If not would I be able to use an LS6 timing chain in an 04 LQ4?

LS6 and LS2 are interchangeable.

But why do people say that the LS2 timing chain is stronger?

When you look at them side by side you can see the LS2 chain has visibly thicker links. They both work on the same sprocket though so all you have to change is the chain......

Thanks for the info. Swapping out my CAM this weekend and I picked up a brand new LS2 timing chain for $50 bucks, so you answered my question on whether I needed a new set of sprockets or not.
