Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this camshaft work with a stock torque converter? A: The Stage 2 profile typically requires a higher-stall torque converter (2800-3200 rpm recommended) to prevent surging at low speed.

Q: Is tuning required after installation? A: A custom ECM tune is mandatory to correct fueling, spark, and idle parameters for the new camshaft profile.
