You'd be better off with an LS6. Form looking at all the dyno numbers finally being posted by new C6 owners it appears on a good strong LS2 you may see 352-355 RWHP. That's about average for an LS6 and it will drop right in.

Unless your building an LS2 based stroker (utilizing the larger bore block), it's probably not worth the hassle. At this point no one has figured out a way to get the knock sensors to work although I have a feeling that will ultimately be worked out. Besides that there is some wiring harnesses to extend etc,....a very workable situation, but considering the swap for only a modest increase in displacement doesn't seem worth the BS yet.....Down the road I bet all the little "nuances" are handled and it will become more of a plug and play type of situation.
