Picked up a LY6 with approx. 50k on it this weekend.
PO had already installed rollmaster timing set with new LS9 cam and lifters, LS9 head gaskets, and a new stock oil pump.
No AFM or VVT.
Also came with an escalade intake, is this an upgrade over my L76 Intake?

REALLY? My L76 cam is probably ok, and I could conceivably swap the VVT stuff into the LY6, but I figured the LS9 cam would be an upgrade.
Any other opinions? Will not go back to AFM.
I would like to try a Mast VVT setup, they really sound sweet, but I can buy a lot of gas with the cost difference.
