I know most of you guys are going fast on the street or at the track but I figure Ill ask anyways...

I have a 2002 LQ9 out on an escalade in my new buggy build and was curious what a decent cam would be to upgrade to? I dont want to lose any bottom end torque,just hoping gain across the board.....

No real plans to upgrade heads or anything ,it does have block hugger headers and a dual 2.5 to single 3.5 exhaust(fitment reasons)

THanks for any suggestions!!!

 

Try the truck section. Lots of info there:

could try one of the stealth cams.

they maintain good torque and idle perfectly

 

I followed the link and the truck section is a bit short on info...

What about the z06 cam?? or do the stock lq9 truck heads lack in flow #s to be able to use that amount of lift ?

 

the ls6 cam doesn't have much lift compared to most aftermarket cams.

alot of guys are running .600" of lift or more on stock heads and making really good numbers. so .550" of lift won't be an issue.

 

Here is an article that may interest you and some cam options.
The Torque Monster cam in the article is the 043 on the site...
