Here is my 6.2 swapped Avalanche with a Cam Motion 6.2 Stage 1 'High Lift' Truck cam....works well with the stock converter, no loss of low end torque and pulls great, only requires the cheap LS3 Valve Springs

6.2 Stage 1 LS Truck Camshaft (206/216-117+4) - Cam Motion

Thanks for the reply, I take it this is not a vvt cam? As I don't want to be removing the vvt problem I've had with alot of company's I've contacted either want me to do the converter or the AFM lifters two jobs I don't really want to be doing, just want biggest cam stock can handle with the change of springs and and other bolt on head parts without removal of heads lol

Your 2007 Escalade Engine is an L92 and doesn’t have AFM lifters, the L92 only has VVT...to install a non VVT cam you don’t have to remove the heads, only requires a different timing cover, and cam gear...also going with the “biggest cam it can handle” is a horrible idea...a bigger cam just moves the power band higher up, not something you would want to do in a 6000lb SUV

If you want to do a decent size cam you will want to do the converter. You can do the cam without doing the converter but you will hate it. It will be slower than stock up to about 4k RPM.

If you stay on the smaller side of cams you can keep the stock converter. If a cam manufacturer says you need a stall then either do the stall or pick a smaller cam.

You shouldn't have AFM/DOD but if you do you have to change the lifters. If you don't you can keep your lifters.

It's best to keep the VVT, so don't delete the VVT unless you have to.
