The specific duration's may be off a bit (should be 204/211), but yes, they're both LS6 cams.
01 LS6 had a different cam, rated at 395HP, 02+ LS6 used the higher lift and were rated at 405HP.

I am going with the LS6 cam as well. Everyone knocks it. But from what I have read on here, it performs quite well, stock reliability/idle, and is cheap.
Sounds like a no brainer.
Go with the 02 Z06 cam.

i agree with these other guys an '02 Z06 cam would work well with your application

backordered parts are the worst, im still waiting for tools to do my cam swap to a MS3.
Perhaps look at buying a used Cam, or a crate engine takeout. I will soon be selling a cam out of a brand new '03 LS6 crate engine I bought from GM. I should have it on ebay by the end of the month.

FWIW, I chose the 02 LS6 for 2 reasons: more lift and higher LSA.

BTW, I wouldn't buy one new.. there are people here on Tech with these cams for sale for CHEAP.
