You Can Now Purchase ANY Tick Performance Elite Series Camshaft in a
COMPLETE Package!
Tick Performance proudly offers our Elite Series of Camshafts designed
specifically for 4.8L & 5.3L Engines! Using the latest and greatest
technology available, we've put together a complete line of Camshafts that
are designed to meet every goal, from mild to wild. Our Elite Series of
Camshafts are all manufactured by Cam Motion and are updated with a new
version every time an advancement in valvetrain technology becomes
available, so they're ALWAYS cutting-edge! Although we suggest measuring
for piston-to-valve clearance during ANY camshaft install, every Elite
Series Camshaft is designed to fit in a stock engine & stock heads with
adequate clearance unless otherwise noted. These cams are designed to
maximize power, reliability and valvetrain longevity.

...and although this package includes everything you NEED to upgrade during
a Camshaft Upgrade, there are a few things that we HIGHLY suggest upgrading
at the same time. Since they're not required, we make them options for you
to choose during checkout:
Option Guide: Valvespring TypeDuring checkout, you have the choice between our Tick Performance Dual
Valve Spring Kit (assembled here in house using PAC valve springs). Choose
#TP660DVSK, and opt for the Titanium Retainers if you're trying to keep
your valvetrain as light as possible. The PAC #1219 Drop-In Springs are an
option only if you'll be running a towMAX Camshaft.
Option Guide: Pushrod Length CheckerHaving the correct length pushrods in your engine is a critical factor in
proper rocker arm geometry and these are the best tools to measure pushrod
length. During checkout, you can add a COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrod length
checking tool that is precision crafted from steel alloy and black oxide
for years of accurate measurements. Their unique designs are easy to read
and eliminate the need for expensive calipers. Each complete revolution is
equal to .050 inch.
Option Guide: Pushrod LengthSince stock pushrods are 7.400" long, the 7.400" hardened chromoly pushrod
set is included in our Elite Camshaft Packages by default. If you think
you'll need a different length, you've got a wide variety to choose from
during checkout. All lengths are the same high quality hardened chromoly,
ready for years of hard abuse. These pushrods are all 5/16" diameter,
.080" wall; if you'd like a different diameter or wall thickness, please
place your order by phone.
Option Guide: Timing Chain UpgradeWhile upgrading your camshaft, it's easy (and smart) to upgrade your timing
chain. The GM 12646386 is a nice budget upgrade over stock, while the Katech HME-G68V-2 C5-R chain is a premium option.
Option Guide: Oil Pump UpgradeJust like your timing chain, it's easy (and smart) to upgrade your oil pump
during a camshaft upgrade. The GM 12586665 "LS6" Pump is a nice upgrade
over the stock LS1 unit, while the Melling 10295 or 10296 will be better
depending on the application.
GM pickup tubes came with two different thickness O-rings. You will need to
choose the O-ring appropriate for your application otherwise you will
experience low oil pressure. Please see the application list below for
proper fitment.

Option Guide: AFM Delete KitNone of our Tick Performance Elite Series Camshafts are designed to work
with Active Fuel Management (AFM, also known as Displacement on Demand or
DOD), so you'll need to order this kit to install at the same time as our
camshaft unless you've already deleted this system. Installation of this
kit requires removal of both cylinder heads in addition to your camshaft
install. You can view the contents of this kit here.Option Guide: VVT Delete KitNone of our Tick Performance Elite Series Camshafts are designed to work
with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), so you'll need to order this kit to
install at the same time as our camshaft unless you've already deleted this
system. This kit is designed to be installed in tandem with our Tick
Performance AFM (DOD) Delete Kit for LS Engines while you're upgrading to
an aftermarket camshaft. You can view the contents of this kit here.
Option Guide: Replacement GasketsIf you're installing your camshaft yourself, there are a few gaskets and a
bolt that should be replaced. Our discounted GM Camswap Gasket & Bolt
Kit includes a 12633904 GM Timing Cover Gasket, a 12585673 GM Timing Cover
Seal, two 12630223 GM Water Pump Gaskets and a 12557840 GM Harmonic
Balancer Bolt.
Option Guide: Valve Seal Install ToolIf you don't already have a Valve Stem Seal Install Tool in your toolbox,
now is a great time to add one, and our Tick Performance Billet Valve Stem
Seal Installation Tool is manufactured here in NC, USA from 6061-T6
aluminum alloy. This tool makes it easy to install PTFE valve seals on any
.500 or .531 in. valve guide without seal distortion or gouging!
