Hi all, newcomer to the forum.
I'm deleting the DoD system in my recently acquired 05 Envoy Denali, but I'm torn on what cam to go with. I'm already upgrading my springs to the LS6 springs, so the ones I'm about to list as options shouldn't run into lift issues. It will mainly be a road trip machine, inclement weather overcomer, and the occasional hauler. I plan to about once each year starting this year for work, so I will be hauling my daily that weighs about 3500lbs along with cargo during such moves. Therefore, towing is something I'll do but rarely.
I'm mainly looking for quicker acceleration from a stop, as well as accelerating on the highway for overtaking. I'm no expert by any means but this leads me to believe I'm looking for an emphasis in low-mid range torque gains, but I won't turn down overall gains either. Given that, I've narrowed it down to the following cams:
Summit Racing 8727R1
Summit Racing 8718R1
Summit Racing 8719R1
I'm not shooting for any lopey sound, in fact, I want it to sound as smooth as possible, and I realize this will need a tune. Based on my needs, which cam should I go with? Feel free to ask me further questions if more info is needed. I am not looking to spend any more than $300 as I'm not shooting for crazy HP/TQ numbers, hence me sticking to Summit cams. Sorry if any of these questions sound amateurish as I'm brand new to the V8 world. Having previously only worked on rebuilding DOHC I4 engines and dabbled in DOHC V6 engine maintenance, I should be competent enough to pursue something like this.
