LY6 cam upgrade

I have an 09 ly6 that I am doing the vvt delete on. It originally had a single timing sprocket/chain. Does anyone know if there is enough clearance to run a double timing sprocket/chain?

There really is no need for a double roller on a mild cam upgrade.

Single chain will handle a ton of horsepower.

Exactly as mentioned above.

What cam did you have in mind? Which truck is this in?
