yes it will work, but may not be worth your time since its really not much bigger than stock. A zo6 vette cam would be a better option if you wanted to stay close to stock, but if you don't mind the time you can swap cams.

I read on here somewhere that 05-07 LS2 Vette cam has the same specs as the 02-04 LS6 cam. I have been meaning to go back and find that thread.....

Yes, shouldn't have any issues doing a swap. I've got an extra TBSS cam if you need another one.
