Cam & Head Packages

Cam, lifter and head packages for LS engines

Our cam packages are developed in-house and proven on our own dynos. Whether your car is naturally aspirated or boosted, the right camshaft, lifters and springs wake an LS up like nothing else.

White HSV VF GTS with Sam's Performance heads and cam package and boosted pulleys, making 750 rwhp on E85

Developed here, not guessed

Sam's Performance cam packages are combinations we have refined over many years of LS work: the camshaft, lifters (including LS7 lifter upgrades), valve springs and supporting parts chosen as a set. We also spec SP custom blower camshafts for supercharged builds.

In Sam's words: "Every issue we've had with an LS engine, we've come up with a fix." That experience is built into every package we sell.

Heads that flow

For the next step, our heads and cam packages pair our camshafts with ported cylinder heads such as Higgins CC ported heads and Mast Motorsport heads. A VF Clubsport with our cam and lifter package, Higgins heads, Harrop pulleys and airbox and a Hurricane exhaust made 670+ rwhp, and a VF GTS with our heads and cam package made 750 rwhp on E85.

A great first step

Even without boost, a cam package changes how a car drives. A VF SS with our cam and lifter package and an upgraded stall converter made 440+ rwhp. Many customers start here and come back for a blower later.

Cam & Head Packages FAQs

What is in a Sam's Performance cam package?

A Sam's Performance cam package combines an in-house specified camshaft with matched valve train components. Variations include the cam and LS7 lifter package, the cam and spring package and the heads and cam package, each installed and dyno tuned at the Greenacre workshop.

How much power does a cam package add to a VF SS?

A VF SS with the Sam's Performance cam and lifter package and an upgraded stall converter made 440+ rwhp on the workshop's hub dyno. Results vary with exhaust, fuel and the condition of the engine.

Can I add a supercharger after a cam package?

Yes. Many Sam's Performance customers start with a cam package and add a Harrop supercharger later. Tell us your long-term plans so the camshaft can be specified to suit boost from day one.
