Default Cam Swap with Trailblazer I6 Converter

I am fixing to do a cam swap on my 06 Crew Cab with a comp cam vr269 216/220 525/532 112 lsa. I have a trailblazer and wondering if it is going to be enough or I need to go bigger?? Thanks for any help.

i have one with my 6.0 it works good atleast better than stock. I think a 3000 is much better for your cam

My buddy had one with a stock motor with a tune, it worked nice actually, i liked the feel of it. It felt tighter than my tt2600 in low and mid throttle, but still stalled around 24-2500, you might want a little more with that cam, but it would not be bad at all. And the tb converter is min. $350 cheaper than a yank.

what are you shooting for? best e/t or drivability?? for best e/t then get a 3200-3600 converter, for great drivability that TB converter will work perfect and you will certainly notice a difference...

The TB converter drives really close to stock yet can stall to about ~2600 when you get on it. If you want something that makes a big difference, then go for a converter from Vigilante.

I agree performance or drivability. I chose performance before and now I am looking for more drivability especially with the price of gas.
