TSP 1999-2013 GM 4.8L/5.3L LS Chopacabra Camshaft Package
The Texas Speed Chopacabra camshaft package for cathedral-port GM 4.8L and 5.3L truck engines. This single-purpose package is built for customers who want the signature aggressive Chopacabra idle without working through a larger camshaft selector.

- 214/222 duration at .050 inch
- .550/.550-inch valve lift
- 108-degree lobe separation angle
- 106-degree intake centerline
Package Includes
- TSP 4.8L/5.3L CHOPacabra camshaft
- PAC-2568 .550-inch lift valve springs, set of 16
Valvetrain note: Factory retainers, locks, spring seats, seals and pushrods may be reusable depending on condition and application. Pushrod length and installed height must be measured during assembly.
DOD/AFM note: Factory-DOD Gen IV 5.3L engines require the TSP Gen IV 5.3L Complete DOD/AFM Delete Kit. The 4.8L does not use this delete kit, and non-DOD 5.3L engines do not require the conversion.
VVT note: VVT-equipped applications require the TSP Gen 4 LS VVT Delete Kit when using this fixed-timing camshaft.
Installation note: Verify cylinder-head port style, piston-to-valve clearance, pushrod length and timing-set compatibility before installation.
Tuning required: Professional calibration is mandatory after installation. No tune, tuning device, credits or remote tuning support is included.
Fitment: GM trucks and SUVs equipped with cathedral-port 4.8L or 5.3L LS engines. Not intended for rectangular-port or Gen 5 LT engines.
Local installation: North Texas High Performance can provide separately quoted installation and tuning for local customers.
Processing & Shipping Overview
Processing occurs before shipping.
Most in-stock items typically process within 2–3 business days before shipment or pickup. Expedited shipping options affect transit time after an order ships and do not speed up processing.
Made-to-order, special-order, vendor drop-ship, and freight items require additional processing time before shipping. Any extended lead times will be noted on the product page when applicable.
