GEN 3 & 4 LS Stage 1 V2 Truck Cam

The GEN 3 & 4 LS Stage 1 V2 Truck Cam from Brian Tooley Racing is engineered for truck and light-duty LS engine builders seeking reliable, street-friendly performance gains without sacrificing daily drivability. This camshaft is purpose-built for the Chevrolet LS platform—one of the most modular and responsive engine families ever produced—and represents a proven entry point into forced-induction or naturally aspirated builds. Whether you're upgrading a truck for improved throttle response, towing capacity, or foundational power delivery, the GEN 3 & 4 LS Stage 1 V2 Truck Cam delivers measurable results across the RPM band.

Brian Tooley Racing's Stage 1 V2 profile balances lift, duration, and lobe separation angle to maximize valve events while maintaining stock valve train reliability and minimal wear on lifters and pushrods. The cam's hydraulic roller design ensures consistent oil flow and reduced friction compared to flat-tappet designs, critical for truck applications where engine longevity and consistent performance matter. Precision manufacturing and strict quality control mean this cam integrates seamlessly into stock or mildly modified short-blocks, requiring no exotic valve springs or timing adjustments in most LS configurations. The compact 22-inch length and 10.6-pound weight reflect optimized material density and forging techniques that maximize strength while minimizing reciprocating mass.

Truck builders and weekend warriors favor this cam for naturally aspirated or single-turbo LS conversions, from 5.3L truck mills to 6.0L platform builds. It pairs well with intake manifold upgrades, fuel system tuning, and engine control module recalibration for optimal gains. Installation is straightforward on GEN 3 (1997–2004) and GEN 4 (2005–2015) LS engines, though dyno tuning is recommended to unlock the full potential of your specific displacement and induction setup. Verify cam bolt compatibility and double-check pushrod length after installation to ensure zero interference and proper valve train geometry.
