What are the LSA's on those cams, are they the same?...I know that at least one of them is a 116, and I believe that the TBSS cam is a single bolt as opposed to a 3 bolt for the LS6 cam...

Yes they are the SAME. The TBSS is an LS2 = GTO LS2 = Corvette LS2 = Same cam as '01 LS6. In 07+ the TBSS went to the 58x reluctor and single-bolt but cam specs were identical as the 06.

your right it is an ls2 but specs are 207/217, .525/.525 around 116 or 117 lsa. any ls2 specific cam will work. the difference is the cam sensor moved to the front cover instead of the back of the block

Nope. GM-Parts' recent info "release" with the '01 LS6 production-cam as a 207/217 is incorrect.

204/211, .525" 116 LSA is correct, verified by a number of cam-docter'ed cams and by previous GM Engineering publications / press releases. LS2 cam = '01 LS6.

Also for ref:

'02+ LS6 Cam was slightly bigger & more lift than '01 (resulting in the extra 20hp over '01) and is a 204/218 .55x" 117.5 LSA

And LPE's slightly bigger "LS6 cam on steroids" GT2-3: 207/220 .58x" 118.5 LSA, which makes the most power of this very-similar bunch.
