Just using Yahoo!, I was able to find some generic information. It looks like most sites are using words right out of a GM press release.

Power:
A new LS2 6.0-liter small-block V-8 is the standard engine in the 2005 Corvette C6. It is based on GM’s new Gen IV small-block family of engines.
The LS2 raises the bar for standard performance in the Corvette, delivering estimated peak output levels of 400 horsepower (@ 6000rpm) and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (@ 4400rpm). It is the largest, most powerful standard small-block engine ever offered in Corvette.
Not only does the LS2 engine deliver impressive horsepower, but in a true measure of real-world efficiency, it also boasts the best combination of horsepower and fuel economy among the world’s best performance cars...(22.6mpg).

Thats coming later.. the 3 valve heads supposidly more or less bolt right up on the LSx blocks.
Gut feeling, I'm skeptical about the 3 valve heads.. but I'm not an mech engineer.. But, I'd really be a true believer of then if they remake the C5-R heads with the 3 valve arrangement too..
