Default LS6 Vs. LS2 Bolt-ons

Here's my question. Taking both an LS6 and an LS2 and bolting on the same mods to each engine. The LS2 will produce better gains correct?

Has anyone cammed an LS2 yet? What kind of numbers are they putting down? Only reason i ask is because my LS1 shortblock is making some weird noises and am considering a potential LS6 or LS2 swap into my C5.

Go with the larger bore. It does not matter if ls2 edit isn't out yet. The car has an ls1 pcm. The engine block has nothing to do with the pcm.

I've been told that the LS1 pcm would have no problem controling the LS2. We'll see. The LS6 is 900 dollars cheaper
