Colt Cams Performance Camshaft 03-10 Ford 6.0L/6.4L Powerstroke

Upgrade the airflow and performance potential of your Ford Powerstroke with a Colt Cams Performance Camshaft. Available in Stage 2 and Stage 3 profiles, these high-performance camshafts are precision-machined from brand-new steel billet and engineered to improve volumetric efficiency, helping the engine move exhaust gases more effectively while drawing in a fresh air charge. Both profiles were developed through extensive collaboration with leading performance shops and are designed to provide improved airflow, reduced EGTs, and increased torque and horsepower throughout the RPM range. Choose the Stage 2 for a street-friendly, drop-in upgrade or step up to the Stage 3 for a more aggressive competition-oriented build. Choose Your Camshaft Stage 2: A drop-in performance cam designed for daily drivers, work trucks, heavy hauling, and weekend performance applications. Features a 180°/201° profile, smoother idle characteristics, quicker turbo spool-up, and no modifications required for installation on most engines. Stage 3: A more aggressive 192°/209° competition profile designed for high-performance applications. Valve relief is required before installation. Stage 2 Specifications Intake Duration: 180° Exhaust Duration: 201° Intake Cam Lift: 0.252" Exhaust Cam Lift: 0.254" Lobe Separation Angle: 107° Valve Clearance: No* on most applications Installation: Drop-in on most engines Stage 3 Specifications Intake Duration: 192° Exhaust Duration: 209° Intake Cam Lift: 0.274" Exhaust Cam Lift: 0.280" Lobe Separation Angle: 108° Valve Clearance: Required Application: Competition use Precision Billet Construction Colt Cams manufactures these Powerstroke camshafts from brand-new steel billet with a stock base circle diameter. Each camshaft undergoes heat treatment to a depth five times greater than OEM specifications, providing increased durability and resistance to wear in demanding applications. Performance Benefits Improved volumetric efficiency More effective exhaust gas evacuation Increased airflow potential Reduced exhaust gas temperatures Improved torque and horsepower potential Enhanced turbocharger response Designed for reliable high-RPM operation Installation & Break-In Always check valve clearances before installing any camshaft. The Stage 2 is designed as a drop-in replacement on most engines, while the Stage 3 requires valve relief before installation. Always turn the engine over by hand before starting the engine to verify proper timing and adequate clearances. For initial break-in, apply cam lube to the cam lobes, lifter faces, distributor gears, and oil pump gears. Oil all bearing journals and lifter barrels before startup. Colt Cams recommends running the engine at approximately 1,800–2,000 RPM for 18–20 minutes. Break-in is not required for engines with roller tappets, but Colt recommends the procedure as an additional measure that may help promote component longevity. Important: The Stage 3 profile requires valve relief and is intended for competition use. Verify all clearances and proper cam timing before starting the engine.
