Stage 1 Cathedral Camshaft

The Texas Speed & Performance TSP Stage 1 Cathedral Camshaft (224R) is engineered to deliver a notable power increase for LS1, LS2, and LS6 engines equipped with Cathedral Heads. This camshaft features 224/224 lobe lift with a .600/.600 gross valve lift and a 112 Lobe Separation Angle (LSA). The 112 LSA is chosen to position the powerband lower in the RPM range, enhancing streetability while contributing to a distinct, albeit slightly rougher, idle characteristic. Designed for optimal performance, this Stage 1 camshaft utilizes lobes that are compatible with both beehive and double valve springs. It is best suited for engines with a desired compression ratio of 9.5:1 or higher and operates effectively within a 1400-6500 RPM range. The estimated power increase is an impressive 45-50+ rear wheel horsepower, making it a popular choice for those seeking a compact camshaft that delivers substantial performance. Great drivability is a hallmark of this camshaft, offering stock-like manners with a noticeable idle lope and significant power gains. Installation of this camshaft requires specific supporting modifications. A minimum of a 2600+ stall aftermarket torque converter is necessary to effectively manage the powerband. While upgraded rear gears are not required, it is crucial to note that custom tuning is mandatory for proper operation and to achieve optimal performance. Recommended valve springs include the PAC 1219 or TSP/PAC Dual .660 Valve Springs. Additionally, this product is not legal for sale or use in the state of California and may be subject to California Proposition 65 warnings.
