GEN 3 & 4 LS Stage 2 V2 Truck Cam

The GEN 3 & 4 LS Stage 2 V2 Truck Cam from Brian Tooley Racing is engineered for truck builders and performance enthusiasts seeking reliable mid-range power gains without sacrificing drivability or street manners. This camshaft is purpose-built for Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS platforms, delivering the kind of responsive torque curve that modern truck owners demand when upgrading their engine's breathing characteristics. Whether you're building a daily-driven truck or a weekend performance machine, this Stage 2 profile bridges the gap between stock efficiency and aggressive racing cams.

Brian Tooley Racing's Stage 2 V2 design features optimized valve lift and duration that maximize cylinder filling across the truck's typical operating RPM range while maintaining reasonable valve spring pressures for stock or mildly upgraded valvetrain components. The second-generation V2 iteration incorporates refinements in lobe geometry that reduce parasitic friction losses and improve combustion efficiency, translating to measurable gains in both horsepower and torque output. The camshaft's profile works seamlessly with LS truck heads, requiring no machine work or major internal modifications—making installation straightforward for shops with intermediate LS experience and proper pushrod length verification tools.

This cam is ideal for truck owners planning bolt-on modifications such as intake manifolds, fuel systems, and tuning without committing to full-race specifications that compromise idle quality or low-end response. Popular applications include 5.3L and 6.0L truck builds in Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Tahoe platforms, as well as compatibility with corresponding Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS blocks in hot rods and swaps. Proper installation requires verification of component clearances, rocker arm geometry, and ECU tuning to extract the cam's full potential and maintain reliability in street-driven vehicles.
