It will work and yes it's an ls6 cam. You should get about 15-20hp.

Verify this, but: I don't believe an actual LS2 cam will work in a LS1 because there is no reluctor wheel on the rear of the cam for the LS1 cam sensor to pick up the signal. Look for a used 02-04 LS6 cam because it has slightly more lift and duration compared to the LS2 cam (which is actually the same spec as the 01 LS6 cam).

No, that cam won't be worth the effort, IMO.
