Features

• This is a premium kit that is MADE IN THE USA. Every component in this kit is proudly manufactured in the USA, ensuring the highest quality and reliability on the market. Unlike cheaper import kits that risk premature failure, this kit delivers lasting performance while supporting American manufacturing and helping bring jobs back to the USA.
• Introducing the Gen V CHOPacabra LT cam! Texas Speed saw the demand for the LS version, and decided they couldn't leave the Gen V owners hanging. If you're looking for that mean, snarling sound and performance that will leave your opponent second guessing what he just saw...this is it! Designed to work with the factory torque converter in both 5.3L and 6.2L applications. This camshaft can also be used in 2019-later L84 and L87 engines, but will require a different VVT limiter block than the one included in the kit options on this listing.
• HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHOPACABRA CAMSHAFT The Texas Speed CHOPacabra Camshaft features .582"/.582" lift and a duration of 214/228 at .050", engineered to dramatically improve airflow and enhance overall engine output.
• COMMANDING LOPEY IDLE SOUND The aggressive profile creates a distinctive lopey idle that enhances your engine's character, giving your vehicle a sporty sound that stands out on the road.
• THRILLING THROTTLE RESPONSE Experience improved throttle response that makes your engine feel lively and responsive, providing a direct connection between driver and machine during acceleration.
• GM/ACD PERFORMANCE 12499225 LIFTERS - Performance OEM made lifters to assure reliability and performance.
• TEXAS SPEED TSP OR ICT BILLET VALLEY COVER - This kit will include either a TSP or ICT Billet Valley Plate Cover depending on stock. BOTH are the highest quality plate covers on the market and Manufactured / CNC in the USA. These valley plates make it so you can use the reliable roller lifters instead of the infamously bad AFM style lifters.
• PREMIUM HEAD GASKET SET W/ MLS HEAD GASKETS The full upper multi-layered steel (MLS) gasket set ensures a reliable seal, preventing oil leaks and enhancing overall engine efficiency.
• CUSTOMER FAVORITE FOR STREET USE Many customers choose this camshaft for its perfect balance between power and everyday drivability, making it a strong performer without sacrificing comfort.
• LIFETIME WARRANTY IF INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED MACHINIST

Description

Experience aggressive midrange power and a sharp, raspy exhaust note with the Texas Speed TSP LT Chopacabra camshaft. With 214/228 duration and .582/.582 lift the Chopacabra wakes quickly at idle then pulls hard through the midband, delivering immediate throttle response and a burly sound character perfect for street/strip enthusiasts. The 1200–6500 rpm range keeps usable power where you drive while extending the top end for spirited runs. This complete cam kit includes OE-fit GM Performance lifters (12499225) matched to the cam profile for consistent valvetrain action and reduced break-in variables. We include a full upper head gasket set with MLS head gaskets and head bolts to ensure reliable sealing and head clamp load under increased cylinder pressures. Every part is selected to complement the cam and simplify installation. Finish off the build with a premium billet valley plate cover (TSP or ICT billet) for improved oil control and a clean, high-end look under the hood. Whether upgrading an otherwise stock motor or refreshing a performance build, this kit balances daily drivability with aggressive sound and proven power gains — buy the Chopacabra kit to get a cohesive, ready-to-run camshaft package.
