The Texas Speed 5.7L Hemi Low Lift Cam Kit is a budget-minded camshaft package for the 2009 and newer 5.7L Hemi VVT in Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram vehicles. It pairs your choice of the Texas Speed Stage 1, Stage 2 or Hemi Chopacabra low lift camshaft with a 0 degree phaser lockout kit and the phaser install tool. Because the cams are ground for .527"/.522" lift, the factory valve springs and pushrods can be kept, which is where the savings over a traditional cam kit come from.
On the Texas Speed SuperFlow 902 engine dyno, an otherwise stock 5.7L Hemi gained 32 hp and 8 lb-ft with the Stage 1, 42 hp and 9 lb-ft with the Stage 2 and 43 hp and 11 lb-ft with the Chopacabra, all at the flywheel. Stage 1 and 2 give a slight to moderate lope, while the Chopacabra delivers the most chop a 5.7L can get. None require a stall converter or gear change. This package must be purchased with the Texas Speed MDS Delete Kit, and tuning is required.

FAQ
What is included in the Texas Speed 5.7L Hemi Low Lift Cam Kit?
The kit includes your choice of Texas Speed Stage 1, Stage 2 or Hemi Chopacabra low lift camshaft, a TSP 0 degree phaser lockout and the Hemi phaser install tool. OE-style pushrods and valve seals are optional.
Which Hemi engines does the low lift cam kit fit?
Texas Speed lists it for the 5.7L Hemi with VVT, found in 2009 and newer Ram trucks, Charger, Challenger, 300, Durango, Grand Cherokee and Commander. It is not for the 2003 to 2008 non-VVT 5.7L.
Do I need new valve springs or pushrods with these low lift Hemi cams?
No. All three cams are designed to run on the factory valve springs and pushrods. Texas Speed recommends a PAC or Manton spring kit as a replacement on engines with more than 75,000 miles.
How much power do the Texas Speed low lift Hemi cams add?
On an otherwise stock 5.7L Hemi, Texas Speed measured 32 hp and 8 lb-ft from the Stage 1, 42 hp and 9 lb-ft from the Stage 2 and 43 hp and 11 lb-ft from the Chopacabra at the flywheel.
Does this kit include the MDS delete parts?
No. Texas Speed requires this cam package to be purchased with its MDS Delete Kit, which supplies the MDS plugs and your choice of lifters, gaskets and hardware.
Will these cams work with the factory torque converter?
Yes. Texas Speed states no aftermarket stall converter or rear gear change is required for the Stage 1, Stage 2 or Chopacabra, and the Chopacabra is described as factory converter friendly.
