Katech LS7 Torquer 116 Camshaft

Katech LS7 Torquer 116 Camshaft

LS7 Performance Camshaft Engineering with a 116° Lobe Separation Angle, Backed by Katech's Racing Heritage.

The Katech LS7 Torquer 116 Camshaft brings Katech's engine and valvetrain development experience to LS7 performance builds. Its hydraulic camshaft profile features 220°/244° duration at .050", .615"/.648" valve lift with 1.8:1 rocker arms, and a 116° lobe separation angle. The cam card specifies straight-up timing with 0° advance and 116° intake and exhaust centerlines.

Camshaft selection should account for the complete engine combination, including compression ratio, cylinder heads, intake and exhaust systems, and intended use. Final power, idle quality, driveability, and operating range depend on these components and the ECU calibration.

Katech's camshaft development draws on decades of racing engine experience and Optron Spin Cell valve motion analysis. This engineering process allows Katech to evaluate valvetrain behavior and guide camshaft and supporting component selection.
