You have an LS1. The LS6's were found in the Z06's and the Cadillac CTS-V's. As far as the engine differences, the LS6 has slightly higher compression ratio, a more aggressive cam, better flowing heads, a higher redline, better pistons, stronger valve springs, etc.

If you want to know more, I recommend these posts...
