Default I know...another cam thread 6.2 guys help please

Ok so I've looked and looked and looked and looked at cams til Im bout sick of looking at them. I'm looking for a decent sound, decent power, and must be daily drivable. I drive a lot of highway. Would like to do a small stall. Maybe 2600. I know there is a lot of cam threads right now but would like to hear about some of the fellow 6.2 guys. Pretty much just tell me what I should do lol. Currents mods are kn intake, ARH longtubes and y pipe. Welded in magnaflow and tuned

I'm running a BTR stage III truck cam in my 6.2 swap with a Circle D 278mm 2600-2800 converter.. I'm also running K&N cold air, longtubes and a tune like you've got. Very happy with this cam/converter combo in my DD.

Is that a VVT friendly cam?

Well we are in the same boat my friend... except im dead set on a stock converter. If it helps ive researched till im blue in the face lol and these are the cams ive narrowed down from the experience of others and manufacturers. In reality i dont see one of these cams vastly outperforming the others. As you will see all these cams have an intake duration from 214 to low 220s and exhaust duration is wide split to high 220s to low 230s.. the possibilities are endless lol but these are just the few im narrowed down so far.

If i keep VVT....
Comp 401 214/228 .559/.571 114°
Comp 402 218/232 .563/.575 114°
TSP VVT-1 wont release specs but ive heard its Stock stall friendly
GPI SS1 VVT similar to VVT-1 and stock stall friendly

If i Delete VVT
Tick Stock stall cam 219/231 .619/.598 115+5
Livernois 1c 218/229 .600/.600 117 (stealthy idle)
Vinci Torker II 214/ 228 .585/.585 115

Due to lack of good vvt tuners in the area I'll probably be deleting it. I wouldn't mind staying stock stall but I'm not totally against a small one

Mwritter, do you know the specs on the btr III? Hows your stall feel because the old lady may sometime slip off in it.

Subscribed, I'm in a similar boat with mods, I'm against swapping a stall as well.

Has anyone spoke to LG motorsports about cams?
