The Melling Camshaft LS Class 3 is engineered for GM LS engines without Active Fuel Management (AFM), featuring a 3-bolt mounting design. It offers a duration of 224° intake and 230° exhaust at 0.050" lift, with a valve lift of 0.604" for both intake and exhaust. The camshaft has a 112° lobe separation angle, contributing to a rough idle and enhanced mid to high RPM torque and horsepower. It's recommended for use with manual transmissions or high-stall automatic converters and may require upgrades to the carburetor, exhaust, and ignition systems. Additionally, the reduced vacuum compared to stock may affect power accessories.
