The Dusterhoff Racing Custom Cam Kit Idle Assault Chop Series Stage 2 “Chop Shaker” is engineered for enthusiasts who want a more aggressive camshaft upgrade for their 5.7L Gen 3 HEMI while maintaining excellent street manners and long-term reliability. Designed for naturally aspirated Dodge Challenger R/T, Charger R/T, Chrysler 300C, Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500 applications equipped with the 5.7L HEMI, this complete camshaft package delivers substantial improvements in horsepower, torque, throttle response, and mid-range acceleration. The Stage 2 Chop Shaker also produces the signature lopey idle that has made the Idle Assault Chop Series one of the most recognizable camshaft lineups available for the Gen 3 HEMI platform.

The custom Stage 2 camshaft profile is designed to improve airflow throughout the entire RPM range by optimizing valve lift, duration, and lobe separation. The result is noticeably stronger acceleration from low RPM through the upper powerband while maintaining excellent drivability for street-driven vehicles. Whether you’re cruising on the highway, making passes at the drag strip, or enjoying spirited weekend driving, the Chop Shaker provides an ideal combination of everyday usability and serious performance. When combined with supporting upgrades such as long tube headers, a high-flow exhaust system, cold air intake, upgraded intake manifold, and professional ECU tuning, this camshaft helps unlock the full performance potential of the factory 5.7L HEMI.

Unlike purchasing individual valvetrain components separately, this complete package includes everything needed to properly support the more aggressive camshaft profile. Heavy-duty valve springs provide improved valve control at higher engine speeds, premium Manton pushrods deliver exceptional strength and durability, and the included Comp Phaser Limiter/Lock Kit properly manages variable valve timing for optimized performance and reliability. By combining these proven components into one package, Dusterhoff Racing provides a complete solution designed to perform as a system rather than a collection of individual parts.

Every Dusterhoff Racing camshaft is custom developed specifically for the Gen 3 HEMI platform and is intended to be paired with professional remote or dyno tuning. Proper calibration allows the engine to optimize ignition timing, fuel delivery, and cam phasing while maximizing idle quality, drivability, and overall horsepower. Whether you’re building a reliable street car, weekend racer, or naturally aspirated performance build, the Stage 2 Chop Shaker delivers the aggressive sound and proven performance Gen 3 HEMI enthusiasts demand.

Complete your installation with fresh lifters, timing components, OEM gaskets, and one of our custom tuning packages for the best overall results. For additional camshaft upgrades, valvetrain components, and installation parts, browse our catalog.
