LS1 High Lift Hot Camshaft 218/227 .600/.600 Lift 112+2 LSA

The WS6 Store LS1 High Lift “Hot Cam” is a camshaft engineered using FEA analysis, dyno tuning, and input from LS1 experts. It builds upon the basic design, duration, and lobe separation of the original GM hot cam to deliver more power while maintaining a stable and quiet valvetrain. This cam is designed to provide approximately 10hp more than the GM original hot cam, with gains demonstrated on a 1999 LS1 M6 without requiring additional tuning. The cam specifications are 218/227 duration with .600/.600 lift and a 112+2 LSA. The increased lift of .600 is managed to prevent damage and noise. It allows for the use of a budget-friendly Pac1218 spring, minimizing guide wear and maximizing power potential. This camshaft is compatible with stock pushrods for a lower budget build, though upgrading pushrods is also an option for enhanced peace of mind. This camshaft is suitable for any LS engine and does not necessitate a gear change or a higher stall torque converter. Customer feedback indicates it offers better drivability and a more aggressive idle compared to the original hot cam, while remaining very quiet under the hood. For installations where cylinder heads have been milled, a different thickness head gasket is used, or non-stock lifters are employed, it is recommended to measure for precise pushrod length before ordering. In many customer experiences, stock or RPMSpeed pushrods have functioned without issue. For those seeking an easy-to-drive and tune camshaft that produces significant power, this option is presented as an ideal choice. Performance gains are supported by track times, showing a nearly 5mph increase in the 1/4 mile from a cam swap alone when compared to the original hot cam.
