Tick Performance Turbo Stage 2 Cam for 4.8L & 5.3L Chevy LS/LSX
Tick Performance
proudly offers their Elite Series of Camshafts designed specifically for 4.8L
& 5.3L Engines! Using the latest and greatest technology available, they've
put together a complete line of Camshafts that are designed to meet every goal,
from mild to wild. Their Elite Series of Camshafts are all manufactured by
Cam Motion and are updated with a new version every time an advancement in
valvetrain technology becomes available, so they're ALWAYS cutting-edge!
Although they suggest measuring for piston-to-valve clearance during ANY
camshaft install, every Elite Series Camshaft is designed to fit in a stock
engine & stock heads with adequate clearance unless otherwise noted. These
cams are designed to maximize power, reliability and valvetrain longevity.

Turbocharger Size Recommendation: Single 72mm-76mm turbochargers
and twin 58mm-62mm turbochargers. Heavier vehicles (4,000LBS+) using
single 76mm-80mm turbochargers or twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider
this camshaft for added low-end torque. 4.8L engines with larger single 76-80mm
turbochargers and twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider
this camshaft due to their smaller displacement and shorter stroke. This
is the largest camshaft we recommend for a turbocharged 4.8L. Certain 4.8L
racing applications may need more duration, but it is unusual for this size
engine. If you're unsure what you need, please contact us directly.
The Tick Performance Turbo Stage 2 Camshaft for 4.8 & 5.3
liter engines is designed for those who want to make more power than possible
with the Stage 1 camhaft and are doing so with a larger turbocharger.
This camshaft is intended for use with single 72mm-76mm turbochargers and twin
58mm-62mm turbochargers. Those with 4.8 liter engines in lighter vehicles
utilizing single 76mm-80mm turbochargers or twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should
highly consider this camshaft due to their smaller displacement and shorter
stroke. Those with 5.3 liter engines in heavier applications (4000LBS+)
utilizing single 76mm-80mm turbochargers and twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers
should highly consider this camshaft for additional low end torque. Idle
quality will be slightly rougher than stock with a noticeable lope. They
strongly suggest the use of their Tick/PAC Dual Valvesprings and hardened
pushrods with this camshaft (sold separately.) Hundreds of hours were
spent developing this camshaft to perform precisely the way we advertise, so as
a result, changes to the LSA or any other specification of this camshaft are
not available.
NOTE: This camshaft utilizes a 3-bolt timing gear pattern.
