The Texas Speed L83/L84 V2 5.3L Cam Kit collects the essential parts for a camshaft upgrade on the GM Gen V 5.3L L83 and L84. The updated V2 camshafts use redesigned lower-lift lobes developed for more power with less valve spring stress and quieter valvetrain operation. The kit pairs your choice of V2 cam with the TSP .660" dual valve spring kit with PAC springs and titanium retainers, a set of 16 Texas Speed 3/8" hardened chromoly pushrods in the length selected and the required phaser lockout kit.
Camshaft choices include the Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 V2 cams, the BFD V2 with a 10 percent fuel lobe, the V2 supercharger and turbo cams with a 32 percent fuel lobe and the F-117 Stealth LT cam. Texas Speed developed these cams for engines with the factory AFM lifters removed and tested them on a SuperFlow 902 engine dyno with a stock L83. A DOD delete is required, with the TSP DOD Delete Kit sold separately, and custom ECU tuning is required after installation. An HP Tuners MPVI4 can be added.

FAQ
What is included in the Texas Speed L83/L84 V2 Cam Kit?
The kit includes your choice of Texas Speed L83 V2 camshaft, the TSP .660" dual valve spring kit with PAC springs and titanium retainers, a set of 16 Texas Speed 3/8" hardened chromoly pushrods in the length selected and a phaser lockout kit.
What vehicles does the L83/L84 V2 cam kit fit?
Texas Speed lists it for the Gen V 5.3L L83 and L84 in 2014 to 2022 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 and 2015 to 2022 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade.
What is different about the Texas Speed V2 L83 camshafts?
The V2 lobes have lower lift than the earlier design. Texas Speed developed them for increased power along with reduced valve spring stress and lower valvetrain noise, and tested them on a stock L83 on its SuperFlow 902 engine dyno.
Do I need a DOD delete to run this cam kit?
Yes. The V2 cams are developed for engines with the factory AFM lifters removed. Texas Speed requires a DOD delete and sells the TSP DOD Delete Kit separately from this package.
Is the phaser lockout included with the L83 cam kit?
Yes. All Texas Speed Gen V L83 camshafts require a phaser lockout kit, and it is included in this package.
Is tuning required after installing an L83 V2 camshaft?
Yes. Texas Speed requires custom ECU tuning after the camshaft installation and offers the HP Tuners MPVI4 as an optional add-on to the kit.
