Tick Performance proudly offers our Elite Series of Camshafts designed specifically for LS1 & LS6 Engines! Using the latest and greatest technology available, we've put together a complete line of Camshafts that are designed to meet every goal, from mild to wild. Our 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 we 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.

Want usable power across the board that doesn't require you turn 6500+RPM to make peak power? You'll love this camshaft! "SNS" stands for Saturday Night Special, because this camshaft is going to turn every head at the weekend cruise-ins! This SNS torqueMAX Stage 2 Camshaft is perfect for guys looking for the lopey idle and peak power numbers of a larger camshaft without giving up any driveability or TORQUE down low in the RPM range. If power UNDER the curve is what you're looking for, this cam is for you! We strongly suggest the use of our 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.

5.3 truck
I put this can in my 5.3 gmc truck. This thing rules. Backed with a t56 and 4.10s it's an absolute blast to drive. Made 360horse and 360tq to the tires. What's even better is the tq curve was basically a flat line. Very impressive to say the least.

Can't wait to get it in my LS1
I ordered the Tick Performance "SNS" torqueMAX Stage 2 Camshaft with standard lobe, and received it in less than a week! Martin at Tick Performance was a great help with choosing this cam. Martin described to me where the hp/tq would be in the powerband, and gave me a lot of other details about how this cam would perform. There are a few dyno graphs and youtube videos of this cam performing, and all I can say is WOW!! I highly suggest this cam if you want a lot of low end hp/tq as well as a lot of midrange hp/tq.
