Cammed '08 Yukon
Hey all, my first post on performance trucks! love the website and have been an avid viewer of it for quite sometime.
As the title says, I've got an '08 yukon, lovely suv except for the fact its a dog off the line. With the research I've done I did a few so called budget mods to get her moving, and so far I'm pleased but would love some more!
Mods are:
Comp Cams XR265H14 (212/218 .522/.529 114LSA)
AFE Torque Tube
K&N Panel filter
Gutted Cats
Tuning by yours truly
Took her to the dyno tonight and got these numbers.
298.86HP & 316.65TQ
How does this rank for the mods i've done?
I haven't added any springs to go in sync with the cam, my mechanic told me I'd gain around another 10-15hp/tq since I'm not getting as much lift as I should. His point does support the fact that at around 5k rpm the numbers do go earthbound.
Thinking about getting some gears in since I'm rolling 20s right now, I've got 3.73s but wouldn't mind some 4.10s.
Any advice would be great!

For advertised gains being from 1800-6000rpm, I felt most of the gains at around 3500rpm+. Still a dog outta the hole, I know gears are a must!
In time I will do, I'm looking into the Pacesetters and custom make a Y-pipe or maybe even go true duals later down the line, but as of yet, I just piad $150 to gut the cats proper, so will need to save up a little...

A nice 3k converter should help you get moving, as well as the gears you mentioned

Actually to be honest, it made a hell of a difference! The amount of crap that was in them was crazy, and the size of them compared to the earlier GMs, they look like monsters! SOTP feeling soon as I was out the shop had increased..
Thanks, I was waiting for someone to chime in as to whether or not the stock ones will hold or not. Probably tonight or tmrw since it's the weekend here.. Any point in spending more then some OEM LS6 springs?
