L86 DOD cam that doesn't need retune
 

Hi,
I have a 2016 Yukon with an L86 and a ticking lifter. I have already turned DOD off with HP Tuners. This is the wife's car, not a hot rod. I will now do the mechanical delete (cam, lifters, guides etc and freshen the heads) but I don't want to get into "tuning". I see 2 cams that might do this and I am looking for someone else that has done this delete. If you have experience with either of these cams could you please let me know if you needed to "tune" or not. thanks in advance Ray

To me these cams are very similar but even Scoggin Dickey can not tell me if tuning is needed or not.

The L86 AFM delete cam is made to the same specs as the factory L86 camshaft. Aside from disabling the AFM in the ECU, it does not require a tune.

We by default always tell customers a tune is required because AFM has to be disabled. If you already have AFM disabled properly in the tune, further tuning should not be required. I'm sorry for any miscommunication.

Thanks SD. I listed 2 SD cams above. Could I use either without "retuning"?
Can you confirm that others have used your L86 DOD delete cam without "retuning"?

Here is a summary of the L86 DOD cams I found.

The L86 AFM delete cam will work without a retune, other than disabling AFM in the ECU. You will have no issues there.

Since we have a dedicated camshaft for the purpose of removing AFM from the L86, we have never used the LT5 camshaft for this purpose.
