L94 cam swap opinions for a daily driver

[JPS0284]

I’ll start with I’m a total newbie in the performance parts world with a strong mechanical background, so I know enough to be dangerous. So I’ve been compiling a parts list for a AFM/DOD delete for a L94 in a 13’ Escalade and I’ve been eyeing a TSP L99 VVT-2.2 Camshaft 227/239 .629/.629 113+6 (25-TSPL99VVT-2.2). I talked with TSP and they said it will run fine with my stock torque converter which is a must, I don’t have the time nor resources to replace it. My main concern is I came across a thread in the LS forum about the >.600. lift could lead to excessive spring wear and require replacing every 30-40K miles. I absolutely love the lopey sound of big cams but I daily drive the truck and tow a fishing boat, I’d really appreciate your opinions on how I should approach this cam situation. Thanks in advance.

Let's see if we can get this moved to the 2013 section.

Sorry I didn’t see year classifications.

Daily driver and > .600" lift are opposites.

The 6.2L L92 in 07 & 08 Yukon Denalis have VVT but don't have AFM. You might go with that cam? Part# 12612273, .500" lift int/exh

I'm running the TSP VVT stage one and it has a nice lope. To me, this cam is just barely in the realm for a daily driver. I have the L9H 6.2, I love the torque this cam puts out, it never runs out of steam. And after 3500 RPM, it it really flies. I upgraded my springs for the .600 lift.

I would stay under .600 of lift. The OE cam in the L94 works well.

L94 has AFM

TSP should obviously know better than I, but 227/239 seems like a lot of cam in one of these . i ran a 218/228 iirc vvt cam, .600/.600 lift in mine for 60k+ miles, with upgraded springs.
the only way youre going to stay close to off idle, stock cam power is by increasing the lift

went n found cam card for mine:
