Texas Speed & Performance L83/L84 5.3L 3-Bolt Cam Kit

Texas Speed & Performance Gen 5 L83 5.3L 3-Bolt Camshaft Kit (VVT Delete)

TSP 3-Bolt Camshaft Package for Gen 5 5.3L L83 Engines

Get everything you need for your camshaft upgrade on your 2014+ Gen 5 5.3L L83 engine with this Texas Speed & Performance 3-bolt camshaft kit. This package is designed for customers converting away from the factory VVT system and upgrading to a traditional 3-bolt camshaft setup.

By eliminating VVT and DOD/AFM, this setup allows for more aggressive camshaft profiles that deliver improved power and overall performance compared to factory-equipped systems.

Kit Includes

• Your choice of TSP Gen 5 L83 3-bolt camshaft
• Precision Race Components dual valve spring kit with titanium retainers
• Set of 3/8" hardened chromoly pushrods

Required Components

• VVT Delete Kit (Required): Texas Speed Gen 5 LT VVT Delete Kit
• DOD/AFM Delete Kit (Required if not already deleted): Build Your Own TSP Gen 5 DOD Delete Kit

Important: All Gen 5 L83 engines are equipped with VVT and DOD/AFM from the factory. A 3-bolt camshaft requires a VVT delete conversion, and all camshaft upgrades require removal of the DOD/AFM system.

Additional Recommendations

• Upgrade factory rocker arms with a TSP trunnion upgrade kit
• +32% fuel lobe requires a lash cap (do not use with LT4 fuel pump)
• Pushrod length should always be verified during installation
• Custom tuning is required after installation

Performance & Testing

All TSP Gen 5 L83 camshafts are designed and tested to improve power across the RPM range while maintaining drivability. Removing DOD/AFM lifters allows for more aggressive lobe profiles, resulting in stronger midrange and top-end performance.

Camshaft selection will vary based on your setup, including converter, gearing, and intended vehicle use.

Fitment

• 2014–2018 GM 5.3L L83 engines
• Silverado / Sierra 1500
• Tahoe / Yukon
• 3-bolt (non-VVT) camshaft conversion required

Note: Professional installation and tuning are required.
