Stall Converter Required: Yes, 2800-3200RPM+
Rear Gear Upgrade Required: Yes, 3.08 is the minimum suggested

Turbocharger Size Recommendation: Single 72mm-76mm turbochargers and twin 58mm-62mm turbochargers. Heavier vehicles (4,000LBS+) using single 76mm-80mm turbochargers or twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider this camshaft for added low-end torque. 4.8L engines with larger single 76-80mm turbochargers and twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider this camshaft due to their smaller displacement and shorter stroke. This is the largest camshaft we recommend for a turbocharged 4.8L. Certain 4.8L racing applications may need more duration, but it is unusual for this size engine.

Our Tick Performance Turbo Stage 2 Camshaft for 4.8 & 5.3 liter engines is designed for those who want to make more power than possible with the Stage 1 camhaft and are doing so with a larger turbocharger. This camshaft is intended for use with single 72mm-76mm turbochargers and twin 58mm-62mm turbochargers. Those with 4.8 liter engines in lighter vehicles utilizing single 76mm-80mm turbochargers or twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider this camshaft due to their smaller displacement and shorter stroke. Those with 5.3 liter engines in heavier applications (4000LBS+) utilizing single 76mm-80mm turbochargers and twin 62mm-70mm turbochargers should highly consider this camshaft for additional low end torque. Idle quality will be slightly rougher than stock with a noticeable lope. We strongly suggest the use of our 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.
