Magnuson didn't release an LS2 specific kit until a couple months ago.
The LS6 kit will work on an LS2 with some modifications.
You can get a standard (not polished) maggie from most places for $5700-$6000
There are better deals out there though if you look...

lotta love for the LS6 in this thread. Frankly, the LS2 is a pretty solid baseline (torque numbers that beat the 6) considering its the base V8..
Granted Im a lot more impressed with the LSA.

I'm more impressed with the LS7 for N/A and the LS9 (forged pistons).
About to put a maggie on my LS2 but thinking an upgrade to a TVS 1900 is too far off in my future. Once I have the rest of the crap installed the SC swap should be somewhat easy.
Maggie tunes don't seem to be working as well as I expected for the LS6 and LS2 so I will be dialing it in myself and if that doesn't work out too well I will take it down to the local shop for a full tune on the dyno.
I have a used Maggie and it came off of another V (LS6). The major difference I can see between the 2 is the oil galley pan and the 90mm throttle body. I have a 90mm adapter and it's currently at a shop getting "massaged" a little.
I expect to see some good gains with the headers and the fact the LS2 has such a flat torque curve to start with it should be an awesome combination.
You LS6 fanatics are funny. Bottom line is the LS2 has more cubes which should help with the final power after the Maggie install. The fact that the LS2 has more compression might actually hurt me if I have any problems with detination.
This should be fun!
