LS6 cams are usually around 400 or so with springs and stuff....i dunno how much for the heads exactly...
why would you have your standards so low? for the cost to overhaul your ls1 to ls6 spec you can pick up a TEA/FMS h/c combo and be walking ls6's all day long 
paceparts sells a conversion kit ranging from 1500-2500 depending on year and if you want ported heads.
and there is no ls5. theres lt1, ls1, ls6, ls2, and ls7.
and deepblue since he has an 02 he already has a 25% chance of having an ls6 block standard.

The LS7 is going to be the LS6 version of the LS2, the 427ci next gen engine for the C6 Z06. And so far, I believe they are still keeping the Z06 designation, just bumping the LS number from 6 to 7, just as they're bumping the LS1 to LS2.

also technically there IS an LS5 but i dont think you want to put one in a fourth gen f-body....it was the lo-po version of the 454 big block that came in chevelles and el caminos and such...

forget both of them.....just do a good set of heads and a good cam and you'll eat LS6s for breakfast and have a lot more money leftover than if you went the 427 route. ask around some of the head/cam guys will point you in the right direction.

LS7, which is only a logical conclusion, it won't
be out until 2006 model year at earliest.
Don't forget that some inside sources also
say that depending on Dodge's response to the
500hp C6 with the Viper, an ultimate superC6 may
drop that will "blow away all know supercars"
and cost over 100 grand. I think either way GM
needs a exotic to match both the Viper and Ford GT40
