Arrow LS2 Cam Good For Boost?

Was wondering if a LS2 cam was any good for boost, gotta buddy of mine willing to give it to me for free for my 5.3 build.....

If so, how does it compare vs the LS6 cam?

Thanks!

I ended up finding the specs on both cams, and just incase anybody was wondering...

LS2: 204 211 525 525 116-2 lsa

LS6: 204 218 551 547 117.5-2.5 lsa

Since I haven't seen anybody else run LS2 cams in there turbo 5.3 I might try it out and see what happens....

i think with the ls2 you need a to relocate the cam position sensor to the front and i believe you need a few more things to make it work. dont quote me on that but thats what i was told when i was going to buy one from some guy. just went with the z06 cam instead cause it only cost me $60 and i didnt need to change anything.
