Cam Degree Kit - GM LS Engines

The COMP CAMS Cam Degree Kit for GM LS engines is an essential tuning tool for serious engine builders and performance enthusiasts looking to dial in ignition timing and valve overlap with laboratory precision. This kit exists because optimal camshaft timing directly impacts horsepower, torque delivery, and overall engine efficiency—variables that can't be left to chance when building a high-output LS platform. Whether you're fine-tuning a stroker engine, optimizing a boost combination, or maximizing naturally aspirated power, accurate cam timing is non-negotiable for extracting maximum performance.

This degree kit allows you to measure and adjust camshaft positioning relative to crankshaft TDC, ensuring your cam is installed at the manufacturer's intended specifications or custom-degreed for your specific application. COMP CAMS engineered this kit with precision tooling that mounts directly to the LS engine block, providing repeatable, accurate readings in degree increments. The kit includes all necessary hardware to establish true TDC, measure cam advance or retard, and verify valve timing—critical for fuel mapping, boost strategy, and avoiding pinging or detonation in performance applications.

LS engine builders—from street performance to race teams—rely on this tool to confirm cam timing after installation, especially when running custom grinds, upgraded valve springs, or aggressive fuel and ignition curves. Installation requires the engine to be at or near TDC with the timing cover removed, and compatibility extends across all LS variants including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, and LSx platforms. Precision cam timing verification is the difference between a reliable, efficient power plant and an engine prone to detonation, misfires, or inefficient combustion.
