Cam for LQ9 I just picked up an 02 escalde for a dd work truck and wanna do a few mods to it. Lq9 so it’s also awd. Trans is a year old. I installed a corvette servo and will be doing a transgo hd2 also. My delima is choosing a cam. It’ll be my daily driver so I don’t want too crazy plus it’s north of 5,500 pounds. I’ll be running a tb stall that should hit around 2800. I was leaning towards a BTR stage 2 cam but local guy has a brand new stage BTR stage 4 for a steal. Should I stick with the stage 2 or will the 2800 stall and awd be enough to keep he stage 4 from being a dog around town? Or say none of them and just hit the stage 3? Running TSP 1-3/4 long tubes with 3” duals. Probably run high flow cats. Tires are 285/45/22 right at around 31.5”
BTR Stage 2 212/218 .553/.553 113+2
BTR Stage 3 218/224 .553/.553 113+3
BTR Stage 4 224/230. .553/.547 111+2
BTR Stage 2 212/218 .553/.553 113+2
BTR Stage 3 218/224 .553/.553 113+3
BTR Stage 4 224/230. .553/.547 111+2

Yea that’s why I’m leaning towards the stage 2. I love the sound of the stage 4 but I don’t wanna kill the bottom end and I know I need closer to a 3500 stall with the stage 4. It has 317 heads that I’m gonna mill to 65cc to bump compression to 11:1. Was gonna run 243’s but I’ll save a few hundred but keeping these.
