Colt Cams Stage 2 Camshaft 94-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke

Improve the performance and drivability of your 7.3L Ford Powerstroke with the Colt Cams Stage 2 Camshaft. Developed in collaboration with leading performance shops, this precision-engineered camshaft is designed to optimize valve timing and improve volumetric efficiency, helping the engine more effectively expel exhaust gases while drawing in a fresh air charge. The Stage 2 features a mildly aggressive 192° intake / 200° exhaust profile with a 106° lobe separation angle. The result is a refined performance upgrade that provides a slightly noticeable idle while improving turbocharger response and helping reduce exhaust gas temperatures. It is an excellent choice for daily drivers, work trucks, towing applications, and street-oriented performance builds. Colt Cams designed the Stage 2 as a drop-in camshaft for most 7.3L Powerstroke engines, making it a practical upgrade without the extensive modifications associated with more aggressive competition profiles. The camshaft is designed for reliable operation at engine speeds up to 5,000 RPM.

Its mildly aggressive profile is designed to improve turbo response and airflow without sacrificing the characteristics that make the 7.3L Powerstroke well suited to street and work applications. Whether you're building a daily driver, tow rig, or weekend performance truck, the Stage 2 provides a straightforward way to improve the engine's overall breathing and performance potential. Installation & Break-In The Stage 2 is designed as a drop-in replacement on most engines. Colt Cams recommends always checking valve clearances before installing any camshaft and turning the engine over by hand before starting it to verify proper clearances and cam timing. Because the 7.3L Powerstroke uses roller tappets, a traditional camshaft break-in procedure is not required. However, Colt Cams recommends performing a break-in procedure as an additional measure that may help promote component longevity. Apply cam lube to the cam lobes, lifter faces, distributor gears, and oil pump gears. Oil the bearing journals and lifter barrels, then run the engine at approximately 1,800–2,000 RPM for 18–20 minutes. Important: Always verify valve clearances and proper cam timing before starting the engine. Actual performance results will vary depending on engine condition, turbocharger, tuning, fueling, and other supporting modifications.
