The Texas Speed Beehive Spring Cam Kit gathers the valvetrain parts needed for a camshaft upgrade on LS1, LS2 and LS6 cathedral-port engines. It combines a Texas Speed camshaft of your choice with PAC 1219 single beehive valve springs and Texas Speed hardened chromoly pushrods in the length your combination needs. The camshaft menu covers the truck stage cams, the 220R, 224R and 228R street grinds, Torquer V2, Chopacabra, MaddMaxx, the On Da Gas stages and the Cleetus McFarland Bald Eagle and Dumpster Fire cams.
Texas Speed reports typical gains of roughly 30 to 65 rear-wheel horsepower from a cam swap, depending on the camshaft and supporting parts. Pushrod length must be verified for the specific combination, since the required length changes with the cam core, lifters, heads and other valvetrain parts; an adjustable pushrod length checker is an optional add-on. An HP Tuners MPVI4 or a Texas Speed Throttle Republic tuner with a tune included can be added. A tune is required after installation.

FAQ
What is included in the Texas Speed Beehive Spring Cam Kit?
The kit includes your choice of Texas Speed cathedral-port camshaft, a set of PAC 1219 single beehive valve springs and Texas Speed hardened chromoly pushrods in the length selected at ordering.
Which engines does the Beehive Spring Cam Kit fit?
Texas Speed designed it for LS1, LS2 and LS6 cathedral-port applications, which includes the 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird, 1997 to 2004 Corvette, 2004 to 2007 CTS-V and GTO and cathedral-port 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L GM trucks and SUVs.
What camshafts are available with this kit?
Texas Speed offers its 5.3 truck stage cams, 220R, 224R and 228R grinds, 224/228 and 228/232 cams, Torquer V2, Chopacabra, MaddMaxx, On Da Gas Stage 1 through 3 and the Cleetus McFarland Bald Eagle and Dumpster Fire cams. The camshaft is selected when ordering.
How do I pick the pushrod length for this cam kit?
Pushrod lengths from 7.300" to 7.550" are offered. Texas Speed advises verifying length for the exact combination because the cam core, lifters and heads all change it, and offers an adjustable pushrod length checker as an add-on.
How does this kit differ from the Texas Speed Dual Spring Cam Kit?
This kit uses PAC 1219 single beehive springs, while the Dual Spring Cam Kit uses the TSP .660" PAC dual spring package with titanium retainers for more aggressive, higher-lift camshafts.
Is tuning required after installing the Beehive Spring Cam Kit?
Yes. A custom tune is required after any camshaft swap. Texas Speed offers the HP Tuners MPVI4 or its Throttle Republic tuner, which includes a tune, as optional add-ons to this kit.
