• Designed to spec with Hoonigan’s Chop King - Zac Mertens, the BFD is the nastiest sounding cam you can stuff into your 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, 6.2, LS7, or Big Inch Stroker LS. The BFD is also available for L83.
• “We designed the BFD for one thing… 10/10 CHOP for LS engines. It just so happens to make a lot of power too. I run the 'BFD Stroker' in my TSP 434 ci powered C10, which I daily drive in LA traffic. It put down 545whp/475wtq through a 4l80e and still manages to get 20mpg on the highway.”

• Camshaft, Beehive Springs, Seals, Crank Bolt, Gaskets for Water Pump, Timing Cover, & Front Seal. These camshafts have a 3-bolt From toy haulers to trucks turned street rods, our V2 truck cam lineup has an answer for your needs.
• From toy haulers to trucks turned street rods, our V2 truck cam lineup has an answer for your needs. We have partnered with an OEM Tier 1 supplier to grind the new V2 series. The end result is a revised camshaft that provides more average torque, higher peak power, and a maximum depth heat treatment.
• The maximum heat treat depth is achieved by having cam cores made within a few thousandths of final grind size. As opposed to grinding all the camshafts from the same starting core, they each have their own respective core to begin.
• The Stage 2 grind is a great middle-ground for people looking for added power, while keeping OEM driving characteristics in check. OEM torque converters play happily with these grinds. If you need to hook up to a trailer and hit the road for the weekend, this grind will give you more average torque than the previous iteration of the truck series.

• STAGE 3 SPECIFICS: The Stage 3 V2 camshaft is an amazing all around grind for the truck enthusiast. You sacrifice some low end torque in the pursuit of more power higher in the RPM range, but gain an idle note that is distinctly BTR! Stage 3 grind, it is still a tow-friendly camshaft, just not ideal for the everyday hauler. An aftermarket converter is highly recommended with this grind.Excellent for 4.8 5.3 6.0 6.2 Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade
• Will work with stock converter in some trucks, but recommended to install a 2800-3000 converter for best overall performance.

• The 112LSA helps to bring the camshafts powerband lower in the rpm band. The lower LSA also creates a slightly rougher idle.
• The 228R camshaft is a very popular camshaft for customers wanting a very streetable camshaft that makes approximately 5-7 more horsepower than the 224R camshaft.
• Dyno testing has shown the 228R camshaft to make a solid 45-50rwhp gains. The 228R camshaft is large enough that we recommend a larger than stock stall converter in automatic cars. Tuning will also be required in both automatic & manual applications.
