This updated version of the BTR Stage 1 Turbo camshaft was designed to be a versatile camshaft that performs well in a wide range of applications. Developed in house, the engineers at BTR went back to the drawing board in search of more power and torque, even with the use of less intake duration. These new BTR lobe designs were Spintron tested to help achieve the highest overall power curve while also maintaining strict valvetrain stability and durability standards.
Good for 5.3L and 6.0L engines with cathedral port heads and factory or aftermarket long runner intakes, it also gives great results in LS3 headed applications as well. At the end of the day, if you're hanging a smaller 62-75mm turbo on your LS-based build ,and plan on putting some street miles on it, the Turbo Stage 1 is hard to beat. This is also a good choice for moderate 4.8L combinations, as it will act more like a typical "Stage 2" camshaft in those smaller engines.
Our kit options take the guesswork out and include:
Camshaft only: BTR Turbo Stage 1 camshaft by itself
Steel Retainer Spring Kit with Pushrods: BTR Turbo Stage 1 cam plus BTR Platinum .660" Dual Spring kit with Steel Retainers, Valve Seals, and 7.400" Chromoly Pushrods, 5/16" x .080" wall
Titanium Retainer Spring Kit with Pushrods: Includes the above, but with an upgrade from Steel to Titanium Retainers
Gasket kit: Includes Timing cover gasket, water pump gaskets, front crankshaft seal and new damper bolt
Note:
- DOD/AFM equipped engines will require a conversion to conventional lifters
- VVT engines will require a VVT delete kit
- If installing in an engine originally equipped with a 1-bolt camshaft, a 3 bolt conversion kit will be required
