Default LS2 parts in an LS1

I just bought a LS1 from a 2002 WS6 Firebird (LS6 intake). I have a friend that bought an LS2 crate motor and decked it out with a bunch of parts from UMI Racing. Anyway, I can get the stock LS2 cam, intake and injectors from him. I know the LS2 is better than the LS1 but is it better than the LS6? I know the throttle body bolt pattern is different between the 2 but I had planned on upgrading the stock TB anyway (I know the LS2 is drive by wire).

Stock injectors are 28LB/HR and the LS2 are 32LB/HR, will they fit in the intake and fuel rail?

What about the stock LS2 cam? Worth swapping?

Thanks in advance for your help

Cam is not a direct replacement. You would have to relocate the cam sensor which would consist of a new front cover, cam gear, & sensor. Not worth it IMO. LS6 intake flows better than the LS2. LS2 injectors use a larger o-ring as well.
