LS2 has larger bore and more displacement than LS1/LS6, LS6 heads, even higher compression, and a variety of other improvements including electronic throttle control.
LS1 - 346 cu. in., 350 hp
LS6 - 346 cu. in., 405 hp
LS2 - 366 cu. in., 400 hp

An LS1 with LS6 Heads and LS6 Cam will perform as well as a true LS6.
LS6 has larger ports in the oil passages within the block.
Edit: Any Heads/Cam combo from our sponsors will kick the crap out of an LS6 swap.

how come most people get aftermarket heads and cam instead of going with the ls6 upgrade package? especially 01 & 02 ls1's since they already have the ls6 intake.

For a bit more money, TEA's Stage 1.5 "Budget" heads outperform many other's Stage 1-2.5 heads. Mate them to a mild/mid cam like the TSP 225 and you're money- breaking 400+rwhp for sure.
Or, just get a cam like the FUTRAL F13 or the TSP 233/239 RevII and you're breaking 400rwhp with stock heads, assuming M6 setup.

I've got a crate ls6 in my camaro and have out ran a many h/c cars. It's a perfect swap for sreetability, reliability and efficeincy (20-22mpg city 26-29mpg hway). 407 rwhp 119 plus trap speeds. Haven't had it back on the dyno since the last round of bolt ons but I'm sure it'll make 420 rwhp now. Best of all it's still stock internally.

Best numbers I've seen for the setup. What kind of tire were you running?

I run on 18" road race rain tires witch is how I drive it everyday. Thats why the 60' suck. I'm sure it would go faster with a drag type set-up but I know it would probally break the rear. Not enough funds to fix that right now.
