What year? most Yukon Denali SUVs had the LQ4 not the LQ9, but even then they both had the same part number camshaft in each engine.

You can go to your local GM dealer and ask them to compare the cam part number for each application. It's unlikely someone here would know that off the top of there head. My guess is that an LQ9 engine has the same cam regardless of what vehicle it is in.

Mine is a 04 Cadillac Escalade motor. Is this cam is good for turbo?

From what little I know about cams and turbos, I don't see how any stock GM LSx cam would be a good choice for a turbo if you had the option to change cams.

What are your goals for the vehicle? Is this a Denmah style total budget bomb for street fun and rolling burnouts, or some type of semi serious race rig?

If it's a budget Denmah style build run what you brung and be happy. If you want more I would find a cam expert you can trust and pay them a bit for their knowledge. People like Pat G and Brian Tooley come to mind, but the guys at Comp and other companies know their stuff too. There are also custom grinds that people have done through guys like Pat G which typically don't cost much more than the off the shelf options...

Default Z-06 Turbo CAM "stock"

My first TT LS-1 for RO M was benched at WesTec.

My ECU-882C, Comp CAMS cam.

We had NO luck with their "turbo" cams, testing several.

Steve B. decided to install an EOM Z-06 LS-1 cam, it ran GREAT.

We made 1200 HP@21.lbs Boost
