I haven't seen the graphs for quite some time so I can't give you the specifics. I remember that the torque curve looked surprisingly strong in the low rpms on the LS2 though.
That was backed up by my drive in a '05 vert. The low end performance was impressive to me (and I'm used to close to 500hp in my C5).

Do a search for a forum member 'Scissors', as he had the graphs posted from the GM introduction. I believe there is a direct LS6 versus LS2 overlay. The LS2 definately has a fatter torque curve that comes on stronger faster.

source for this is the article at:
http://hotrod.com/techarticles/113_0504_ls2/
This includes a dyno pull of a stock LS2 wherein they
duplicate the GM hp rating (make sure you read the stuff
on the SAE correction factors) and provide a numeric
table of the data.

those curves need some work. No wonder ppl want the LS2 edit.Torque curve should be flat. 380-400 ftlbs from 1500 rmps up to 5500 where it crosses the HP curve. The HP curve should climb to 6400 then drop. if redline is 6500 RMPs
Now there is a torque curve ( almost flat )

Pretty stinking close no matter how you slice it.
Of course, we'll have our tails between our legs when the new Z06 comes out.
