Tick Performance proudly offers our Elite Series of Camshafts designed specifically for LS2 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.

Our Tick Performance Turbo Stage 2 camshaft is an awesome performer, intended for use with 346-370ci single turbocharged motors using a turbocharger with up to a 96mm turbine wheel (especially heavier applications.) The twist with this camshaft (since its a reverse split) is the torque it produces! This cam also works very well for you guys with smaller 83-92mm turbine wheels that can’t run a cam with a lot of overlap for fear of choking the turbine wheel, but still want a nice idle note. Whether it’s a stock cubic inch build, forged bottom end build, or a junkyard motor that you just want to slap a turbo camshaft in and run fast on the street (and at the track) with - 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.
Option Guide: Do I need the 3-Bolt Conversion Kit?
In 2007, GM began installing a camshaft in select LSx engines that used one large bolt to attach the timing chain gear. All Tick Performance Elite Series Camshafts use 3 bolts to attach the timing chain gear, as the earler LSx engines used. If your engine is a 2007 or newer (or if you're not sure which camshaft style you've got), we suggest adding the 3-Bolt Conversion Kit during checkout. This Conversion Kit includes everything that you'll need to convert your single-bolt setup over to the 3-Bolt setup (the proper timing chain gear and a set of 3 ARP camshaft bolts.) If you'd prefer to retain the single bolt style camshaft (not recommended), please place your order with us via phone.

Quickest Spooling Cam Ever....
I have a big T6 BW S400 series turbo that 'everyone' warned would be laggy.... Normally that might be true, but with this cam is spools quick and it gets my 5,000 lb brick (2wd K5 Blazer) moving. I can't say enough about the can and the customer service, especially Martin. Thx again guys!!
