Keep or delete VVT?!

Keep or delete VVT?!
Hey guys-
So, I’m doing the DOD delete finally, and have to decide on a cam.
I have an LSA on the Escalade 6.2, with all the supporting mods and running 10.5 psi.
i am reading a lot of differing theories on whether or not to keep the VVT, or ditch that as well. I know if I get rid of it, I’ll lose some low end- but would running a bigger standard cam make up for that overall? Or should I try and go with a small cam 220 or so and keep the Vvt? I was looking at TSP truck cam at 225/236, but that will require the delete. But then if I do the delete, should I go a little bigger yet?!
I do use the truck to pull a boat a few times a year, so I don’t want it so choppy that it’s difficult to do that stuff- but still want to get as much power as possible!
i read that deleting Vvt makes tuning easier, bc at certain levels the Vvt is no longer able to control it.
what do you guys think?

You wouldn't want a 225/236 camshaft anyway for towing, plus you'd need an aftermarket stall converter that won't really work well with towing.
I'd just delete the VVT to make things easy and run a 212/218 or very similar size camshaft if you plan to keep the stock stall converter. That size camshaft with boost on a stock stall should have plenty of get up and go even without VVT. I can see that adding atleast 40-50hp.

I am considering the ls9 cam. That would delete VVT and be I think 211/230. You think that would be a decent option?

What Texas speed said their truck cam, 216/228 would work well and keep stock converter.
it’s hard because I talked to a couple people at 4 companies and they all had different claims or ideas. I appreciate your help with this!
