Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this cam kit work with my 5.3L engine that has Active Fuel Management (AFM)? A: The camshaft is mechanically compatible, but we strongly recommend deleting or disabling the AFM system through tuning and replacing AFM lifters to prevent valvetrain issues.

Q: Do I need a higher-stall torque converter with this Stage 2 cam? A: No, this cam is designed to work with the factory torque converter. However, custom engine tuning is essential to unlock the full power gains and ensure safe air/fuel ratios.
