ls1 to ls6
depending on the year of the car, you may already have the ls6 and intake. 01-02 all had the ls6 intake.
other than that, i cant think of anything outside the heads and cam. might want to consider a custom cam h/c setup unless you want to say the car has a "ls6" in it.

Yup. Pretty much just heads cam and possibly intake. Some 2001-02 F-bodys received the LS6 block as well, but it isn't a big deal. You could do much better on price and performance with an aftermarket combo...
As stated above, it's not worth the money. For the same cost, you can upgrade to a much more powerful combination.
The LS6 block just has some windowing differences for better bay-to-bay breathing. It's the same displacement and offers no real advantages for a higher-horsepower car. Heck, it's actually a little bit weaker structurally than an LS1 block.
Whatever heads you buy... you'll want fully assembled heads. The stock LS1 valve gear can't handle much more than stock LS1 power. You'll need springs at the very least, but I'd do the complete valvetrain.

THE PERSON THATS SELLING ME THE STUFF IS GIVING IT TO ME FOR 1,100 and the real gm performance parts cuz i want power but i love my gas mileage you know what i mean i have a
2002 camaro ss with the center exhaust, y-pipe, ls6 intake, underdrive pulley,3:90 gears M6 but i have a cut out so my center exhaust is just for looks

How many miles on your car?
There are many extra costs involved in working on a motor.
You'll need: head gaskets, head bolts, pushrods, and maybe other gaskets if they show flaws upon inspection.
You should change: oil pump, lifters, timing chain.
Now with all of this work and parts to put on a set of heads and cam. Why not put in a little better cam and get some more benifit?

with a poor part throttle tune...i'm running a 233 cam and knocking down a solid 25mpg on the highway at 75-80 with the ttops off and windows down.
around town i typically get abou 18mpg...but it's not city traffic, but it is all slow speed stuff
