2007 GMC Yukon Denali AWD 6.2L Build HELP
Looking to do a small build on my 2007 Yukon Denali AWD 6.2L w/ 75k miles. I need some assistance, and any help is greatly appreciated! I'm on a budget, so I'd like to go with the best bang for the buck!
Mods Purchased:
- S&B Intake w/ Scoop
- Electric Exhaust Cutout
1. Cam and Valve Springs - I'm looking to do as an aggressive cam as possible, without losing streetability. A higher stall can be considered, but if the extra cost can be avoided, that'd be great. It will be a daily driver, and will make some track passes. I will need the matching valve springs.
2. Longtube Headers - I'm looking at the Pacesetters, OBX, Speed Engineerings, and the Texas Speeds.
3. Y-Pipe - I'm having trouble finding one for the 6.2L.
4. Tuning - BlackBear Performance seems to be a popular choice?
5. VVT Delete - Necessary for big power gains? Pros and cons?
6. Leveling Kit - Best bang for the buck? Wanting to run 33x12.50s on the stock 20s.
7. Additional Parts - Anything else you guys can recommend?
Random questions....
A. Do these trucks have Active Fuel Management? If so, can it be tuned out?
B. Can 100% E85 be ran?
C. How much HP can the stock drivetrain handle? I may or may not boost it in the future.

I recently was in the same boat as you on deciding which cam and mods. I did alot of searching the forums and web. I would recommend keeping the vvt if you have a tuner that knows how to tune it. BB is a great tuner and I currently have a BB tune but I will be having Pat G dyno tune after cam, stall and headers installed. I chose to keep vvt because Im a few hours away from a good tuner that knows how to tune for it and vvt has more benefits if tuned right.I chose Pat G because of all the great reviews and the fact that he is one of the few that knows how to tune vvt. I had Pat G spec a cam for me and my goals for the truck.
