BTR Gen V 220 Naturally Aspirated Camshaft For LT1/L86/L83 Engines W/ VVT Limiter - 75+ HP Gain

BTR-GENV220
BTR camshafts are engineered for outstanding performance and drivability. Brian Tooley Racing provides a wide range of camshafts and configurations tailored for various truck and car applications. Whether your project involves turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated setups, BTR offers numerous grind options, all supported by years of expertise, knowledge, and a dedication to power.

BTR’s 220 cam is the largest recommended option for L83 engines, delivering over 500 hp with basic bolt-ons while retaining factory VVT for strong low-end torque and explosive top-end power. It requires a DOD delete and piston fly-cutting on 5.3L applications, but offers significant gains across the entire powerband. In L86 truck applications, the BTR Gen V 220 cam delivers strong low- and mid-range torque with impressive power to redline. Ideal for work, light towing, or weekend cruising, it offers well-rounded performance with a noticeable, attention-grabbing idle. For LT1 applications, the Gen V 220 cam delivers over 600 hp while maintaining smooth power, drivability, and excellent top-end performance—perfect for both daily use and weekend fun.

Note: Includes 4 Degree VVT Limiter For VVT Target Map see picture 5.

*WILL NOT FIT IN A L83 ENGINE UNLESS YOU FLYCUT THE PISTONS!

*Custom tuning is required after installation. We offer remote tuning options see here or we recommend going to a local dyno shop near you for custom tuning.

**This camshaft does not come without a small sacrifice to the 5.3L crowd, as you must fly-cut your pistons to allow for this grind to properly fit. However, a DOD delete is also necessary, which means those cylinder heads have to be removed regardless. One extra small step to provide enormous gains across the powerband.
