Installation Notes:
226/231 Duration - Turbo-Optimized:
The Turbocharged Stage 2 features 226° intake and 231° exhaust duration measured at .050" lift. This duration is specifically optimized for turbocharged applications, providing the right balance of cylinder filling, exhaust scavenging, and boost response. The slightly longer exhaust duration helps evacuate exhaust gases efficiently under boost conditions.
.610/.608 Lift - Forced Induction Airflow:
The .610" intake and .608" exhaust lift provide excellent airflow for turbocharged applications. This lift is aggressive enough to support serious power levels while remaining conservative enough for reliable street use. The lift requires upgraded valve springs but doesn't require extensive piston-to-valve clearance work on most builds.
113+4° LSA - Turbo-Specific:
The 113+4° Lobe Separation Angle is specifically chosen for turbocharged applications. The wider LSA helps maintain cylinder pressure under boost, reduces the chance of detonation, and provides a smoother idle compared to tighter LSA cams. The +4 advance helps optimize valve timing for forced induction.
Most Versatile Turbo Cam:
BTR considers the Turbocharged Stage 2 to be the most versatile turbo camshaft on the market today. It's been proven to work excellently with:
Cathedral Port Optimization:
The Stage 2 is specifically optimized for cathedral port headed LS engines (5.3L and 6.0L truck engines). The valve events are designed to work with the airflow characteristics of cathedral port heads, making this cam perfect for budget turbo builds using affordable truck engines and heads.
Turbocharged Stage 2 - What to Expect:
Upgraded Valve Springs REQUIRED:
CRITICAL: This camshaft REQUIRES upgraded valve springs. The stock valve springs are not designed for the lift and duration of the Turbocharged Stage 2 and will cause valve float, poor performance, and potential engine damage. BTR valve springs or equivalent are required for safe, reliable operation.
Professional Tuning REQUIRED:
CRITICAL: This camshaft requires professional tuning after installation. Turbocharged engines require precise fuel and ignition tuning to prevent detonation and ensure safe, reliable operation. Do not boost the engine before proper tuning is complete.
