Vortex 234/240 Street Dominator — LS 3-Bolt Hydraulic Roller Camshaft SMALLER BACE CIRCLE
The Vortex 234/240 Street Dominator is a high-impact LS camshaft built for drivers who want serious mid-range punch, aggressive idle, and relentless top-end pull. The tighter LSA options deliver a hard-hitting lope and explosive acceleration, while wider separations allow flexibility for street, strip, or boosted combinations.
Designed for any Gen III / IV LS 3-bolt engine, this grind transforms performance builds into hard-charging street machines. Expect sharp throttle response, strong midrange torque, and a top-end charge that keeps pulling.
This is a true street/strip camshaft — aggressive, responsive, and built to make power where it counts.
