Default Better performance LS2 or LS6

Hey everyone, im thinking of doing some enigne work and was wondering what people thought.

Currently I have an LS1 and was thinking of getting the ls6 conversion kit.
Would this give me better/same performance as an ls2 or should I swap an ls2 in.

This car is going to be boosted when all said and done so keep that in mind, and no n2o for me.

Ls2 Ftw, but there's no point buying an ls6 conversion kit. I'd get some Dart heads, a matched cam, and LS6+ intake and call it a day. Unless you want a new motor, then LS2
