GPI Low Lift LS Camshaft - LLT2 (4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L / 6.2L) - LLT2
High-Output Low Lift Camshaft for LS Trucks
The GPI LLT2 Low Lift Camshaft is engineered for LS truck owners who want maximum horsepower potential while still maintaining strong low-end torque and excellent drivability. Designed for 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L LS engines, the LLT2 offers a stable idle, strong torque from 2,250 RPM and up, and quiet, reliable valvetrain operation thanks to its smooth lobe design.
For daily-driven trucks, work rigs, tow vehicles, and LS-powered hot rods, the LLT2 delivers a noticeable step up in power over the LLT1 while avoiding the drivability sacrifices common with larger cams. A torque converter upgrade is not required - though it is recommended for 5.3L trucks to maximize performance.

GPI's low-lift truck cam lineup includes five 3-bolt camshaft profiles for LS engines ranging from mild street improvements to higher-output performance applications. With options tailored to such a broad range of platforms and driving styles, GPI ensures a matched camshaft for every build.
