Ported-head race cams for Gen-3 Coyote. Optimized for high-flow setups; 5,800–8,500 rpm (≈8,100 peak). Spring upgrade required; DI/HPFP lobe retained; pump/race/E85–E90 ready.

Built for ported heads and real track work, the GSC R2 profile drives the Coyote hard to 8,100 rpm with a usable band from 5,800–8,500 rpm. Events are modeled for ported Gen 3 head flow behavior and rocker geometry for high-flow combinations, then cut from U.S.-made forged billet blanks and finished with BLACK ISE for reduced friction and long life. Runs on pump gas, race fuel, or ethanol blends (E85/E90).

Direct Injection note: the high-pressure fuel pump (DI/HPFP) lobe is maintained to OEM specification—stroke and timing are retained for proper pump operation.

    Always verify piston-to-valve clearance on your exact build. VCT strategy is tuner dependent.

    Valve springs: Upgrade required (use GSC springs; Ti retainers recommended)

    Camshafts

    GSC Power-Division camshafts are engineered to maximize airflow, power production, and usable RPM while maintaining the valvetrain stability required for real-world performance. Unlike generic “one-size-fits-all” profiles, GSC camshafts are developed using application-specific analysis that considers cylinder head flow characteristics, valvetrain geometry, rocker motion, intended powerband, fuel type, and engine configuration.

    Manufactured from forged barstock in house with precision-ground lobe profiles, GSC cams are trusted by engine builders, tuners, racers, and enthusiasts around the world — from street cars to record-setting drag programs. Whether the goal is improved response, broader power delivery, or extreme horsepower capability, GSC camshafts are built around one principle: maximizing performance without compromising valvetrain control.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes GSC Power-Division camshafts different?

    OpenClose
    GSC Power-Division camshafts are engineered specifically for high-performance applications using proprietary lobe designs, premium billet materials, and advanced manufacturing processes. Every camshaft profile is developed to maximize airflow, power, durability, and valvetrain stability for its intended application.

    How do I choose the correct camshaft for my application?

    OpenClose
    The best camshaft depends on your engine configuration, turbocharger size, intended RPM range, fuel type, cylinder head setup, and horsepower goals. If you’re unsure, contact our technical support team for recommendations.

    Will aftermarket camshafts increase horsepower?

    OpenClose
    Yes. Properly matched camshafts can significantly improve airflow, power, torque, and RPM capability. Actual gains depend on the overall engine combination.

    Do I need valve springs with aftermarket camshafts?

    OpenClose
    In many cases, yes. More aggressive camshaft profiles require upgraded valve springs to maintain valve control at higher RPMs and boost levels. Product pages will indicate whether upgraded springs are required.

    Can I use GSC camshafts with OEM valve springs?

    OpenClose
    Some Stage 1 camshafts are compatible with OEM springs under certain conditions. Always verify spring requirements listed on the product page before installation.

    Do I need a tune after installing camshafts?

    OpenClose
    Most performance camshaft installations benefit from ECU recalibration. A proper tune helps maximize power, drivability, and reliability.

    Are your camshafts billet?

    OpenClose
    Yes. GSC performance camshafts are manufactured from premium forged billet cores for maximum strength and durability.

    What is BLACK ISE?

    OpenClose
    BLACK ISE is GSC’s advanced surface treatment process designed to reduce friction and enhance durability in high-performance valvetrain environments.
