The ls2 flywheel is bigger a little heavier and has got a wider friction surface. If you are talking about the throwout bearing then yes you can use the stock on. However I would advise changing it. Same thing with the pilot bearing. You can use the stock ones, but get new ones. Hope that helps. I have an ls7 putting down 520+ rwhp. It seems to be a great clutch.

The LS2 flywheel is a little heavier. Heavier flywheels are better for launching the car. Both flywheels look a good deal different too.

Make sure you get a new slave cylinder too. It will come with a new throwout bearing already on it.
