BTR Gen V LT Performance Camshafts
Naturally Aspirated • PD Supercharged • Turbocharged
Precision-Engineered Camshafts for the 6th Gen Camaro, C7 Corvette & Gen V LT Platform
More Than Just a Choppy Idle…
When enthusiasts think about upgrading a camshaft, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the unmistakable chop. While a performance camshaft can certainly transform the sound of your LT engine, that's only a small part of what it actually does.
A properly designed camshaft controls how your engine breathes. It determines when the valves open, how long they stay open, how far they lift, and how those events are timed in relation to the pistons. Every one of those decisions directly influences airflow, torque production, horsepower, idle quality, fuel system requirements, boost characteristics, and overall drivability.
Choosing the right camshaft isn't about selecting the most aggressive grind available, it's about selecting the one that best matches your engine combination and how you actually use the car.
That's exactly why Griffin Motorsports offers a carefully curated selection of Brian Tooley Racing (BTR) Gen V LT camshafts. Rather than overwhelming you with dozens of nearly identical options, we've narrowed the lineup to the proven grinds that consistently deliver outstanding results across naturally aspirated, positive displacement supercharged, and turbocharged LT combinations. Looking for a custom grind? We can help with that also…
Why Choose a BTR Camshaft?
Brian Tooley Racing has become one of the most respected names in LS and LT valvetrain development. Every BTR camshaft is engineered using modern lobe profiles that maximize airflow while maintaining excellent durability, valve train stability, and drivability.
Whether your goal is a responsive street car, a weekend drag racer, a road course machine, or a high-horsepower forced induction build, there's a BTR camshaft designed specifically for your combination, and engineered to last.
Choose Your Engine Combination
Naturally Aspirated
Designed for LT1 owners looking to maximize airflow without boost.
Ideal for:
Expect:
Improved horsepower throughout the RPM range
Factory-like drivability when professionally tuned
Stronger mid-range torque with a choppy idle
Excellent throttle response
Positive Displacement Supercharged
Specifically engineered for Eaton, Magnuson, Kong, and Whipple-equipped LT engines.
These camshafts are optimized around the airflow characteristics of positive displacement superchargers, providing increased cylinder filling while maintaining excellent street manners and broad torque production.
Ideal for:
All LT4 Camaro ZL1, CTS-V, C7 Z06, CT5 Blackwings
With Magnuson 2300/2650, Kong Ported Blowers, Whipple 3.0L
And all supporting bolt ons with valve train upgrades.
Turbocharged
Turbocharged engines require an entirely different camshaft philosophy.
BTR's turbo camshafts are designed to maximize exhaust energy, improve turbocharger response, and support exceptional horsepower while maintaining excellent drivability.
Perfect for:
Which Stage Is Right For You?
Stage 1
The Ultimate Street Cam
Choose Stage 1 if you want:
Outstanding daily drivability
Broad mid range torque curve
Choppy idle, with Excellent vacuum
Responsive street performance
Best suited for enthusiasts who drive their Camaro regularly and want noticeable performance gains without sacrificing refinement.
Stage 2
The Perfect Balance
Stage 2 is designed for customers looking for the next level of performance.
Expect:
If Stage 1 is a performance street cam, Stage 2 begins to blur the line between street and race.
Stage 3
Maximum Performance
Stage 3 camshafts are intended for serious enthusiasts pursuing maximum airflow and horsepower.
Ideal for:
Dedicated race / competition builds
Larger displacement superchargers or turbos
Aggressive naturally aspirated combinations
Customers willing to sacrifice some street manners in exchange for additional top end performance
Shelf Cam or Custom Cam?
Not every build requires a custom-ground camshaft.
In fact, BTR's shelf camshafts have been proven on thousands of Gen V LT engines and represent an outstanding solution for the overwhelming majority of street and street/strip combinations. However, if your build includes unique goals, uncommon engine combinations, or you're chasing every last horsepower, a custom camshaft may be the better choice.
At Griffin Motorsports, we're happy to help determine which direction makes the most sense for your specific application.
Griffin Motorsports Insight
One of the biggest misconceptions in the performance industry is that a larger camshaft automatically makes more horsepower. In reality, the best-performing engine combinations are almost always the most balanced. Supercharger size, cylinder heads, compression ratio, fuel system, intended RPM range, transmission, and vehicle use all influence camshaft selection. Choosing the correct cam for your combination will almost always outperform simply choosing the most aggressive grind available.
Recommended Supporting Upgrades
For best results, we recommend pairing your new camshaft with properly matched supporting components:
BTR Valve Springs + Chromoly Pushrods
BTR Rocker Trunnion Kit or BTR Complete Rocker Arms
GM Performance Lifters + Lifter Trays
Katech Timing Components and covers
Appropriate Fuel System Upgrades
Professional ECM Calibration
Building the valve train as a complete system improves reliability while ensuring every component works together as intended.
Why Buy From Griffin Motorsports?
Camshaft selection is one of the most important, and most misunderstood decisions you'll make during an engine build. While countless retailers can sell you a camshaft, very few take the time to understand your complete combination before making a recommendation.
At Griffin Motorsports, we specialize in the Gen V LT platform. Whether your goal is a naturally aspirated street car, or a four-digit ZL1, we'll help you select the BTR camshaft that best complements your current setup and future plans. Our recommendations are based on real-world experience, proven combinations, and a philosophy centered on building balanced, reliable performance, not simply selling the biggest cam on the shelf.
Purchasing Considerations
Note: We dont advise or suggest you to know exactly what’s needed to assemble a complete and effective cam package. We offer many of these parts a-la-carte for customers who just need that “one additional” part, or replacement. If you are in need of a turn-key head and cam package then please email us at gabe@griffin-motorsports.com for a free consultation and itemized quote.
