Question about BTR Stage IV cam

Im getting ready to make my order, but it doesnt specify if the cam is single bolt or 3 bolt. I selected the LS3 BTR stage IV cam. Does that ship out as single bolt? Thanks

Ok. So next question is, will the 3 bolt cam gear they sell work or is there a specific cam gear I need to buy?

Have the same cam, takes some tuning but makes great power.

Probably one of our top 3 sellers. Very good performing camshaft.

Unless specified it will ship as a single bolt as the original is a single bolt. If you ask for a 3 bolt, it's no additional charge but you'd have to change the CS Sprocket and add the 3 bolts of course.

Hit us up if you have any tech questions about the Cam Package and thank you for buying BTR! Great choice!

It is a very good cam. But you have to fine some one who can tune it or it will be a headache. It made real good power but it can't fine idle and keeps cutting off. And now losing oil some where. So make sure who ever tunes it know how to tune that cam.. because I know something is broken in my engine some where.

Any good tuner should have no issue dialing in that cam.

If your losing oil you probably have bad valve seals.

Well you sound like you need a better tuner, find one that is experienced in hp some where near you even if its a ricer shop and they should be able to tell you wants going on. NO cam should be "fine Idling" as that's just a sign, and knowing something is broken in your engines that's messed up that should be a sign......DO not go to that guy unless its to give him a bill to repair his mistake , and loosing oil that sounds bad..... "having a hard time" can be a sign for " I don't know WTF I am doing...... here ..... accept this .....
