TSP Cathedral Stoker Cam - Stage 3
TEXAS SPEED & PERFORMANCE
Texas Speed Stage 3 Cathedral Stroker Camshaft
The Texas Speed Stage 3 Cathedral Stroker Camshaft is engineered for serious naturally aspirated LS stroker combinations producing maximum power at higher engine speeds. Featuring 244/256 duration, .644"/.632" lift, and a 112 LSA, this camshaft is designed specifically for 402 cubic-inch and larger cathedral-port LS engines.
Intended for high-performance street/strip and race-oriented applications, the Stage 3 delivers exceptional top-end airflow and horsepower when paired with aftermarket cathedral-port cylinder heads, a high-flow intake manifold, and a properly matched drivetrain.
Developed In-House by Texas Speed
Every Texas Speed camshaft is developed using our in-house lobe design process, allowing our engineering team to optimize valve events for specific engine displacement, cylinder-head airflow, compression ratio, and intended operating range.
Our camshaft designs are validated through Spintron testing to evaluate valvetrain stability and component control throughout the RPM range. This process helps ensure every Texas Speed camshaft delivers reliable high-RPM performance in demanding applications.

Fitment & Important Notes
- Designed specifically for 402 cubic-inch and larger cathedral-port LS stroker combinations.
- Professional tuning is required to achieve proper drivability and maximum performance.
- Upgraded valve springs and supporting valvetrain components are required.
- Aftermarket cathedral-port cylinder heads and intake manifold are strongly recommended.
- This camshaft is intended for serious naturally aspirated street/strip and competition combinations.
- Always verify piston-to-valve clearance, installed height, coil bind, retainer-to-seal clearance, pushrod length, and overall valvetrain geometry during installation.
