If you have the words "Go BIG or Go HOME" tattooed somewhere on your person, you've found the perfect camshaft for your turbocharged application!  The Tick Performance Turbo Stage 3 Camshaft is a fresh re-design, perfect for engines utilizing up to a 111mm turbine wheel.  This camshaft is perfect for 346-408ci motors using HP88, HP91, S588, GT5018, GT5518 and many other turbochargers in this size range.  Being that this camshaft is a reverse grind much like the smaller LS2 Turbo Stage 2 camshaft, the torque it produces is ideal for a heavier full weight passenger car or truck/SUV.  We strongly suggest the use of the 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 for an extra $24.99.  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.
