Default difference between cammed LS1s and LS2s

i have a MS4 cam and stage 1 LS6 heads on the way from TSP for my 02 Z28. i'm currently exercising the idea of selling it for a GTO. i was just wondering what the advantages/disadvantages would be in installing that combo on a LS2 as opposed to an LS1. i have always been under the assumption that the car will idle and drive better with that size cam due to the larger displacement. is this true?

More cubes eat up the cam better... So yah it's true. The MS4 will be fine in a LS2 GTO.... I have something much larger in my Goat.

I make LOTS of power with My FTI cam

Just so you know the LS2 Goat already comes with LS6 heads....
