Designed around proven 180° intake and 202° exhaust duration specs with 0.270" cam lift on both lobes, the POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS Stage 2 cam improves airflow, widens the power curve, and supports larger injectors and aftermarket turbos. Compared to a Stage 1 cam, the Stage 2 profile pulls noticeably harder at higher RPM, making it a better match for aggressive builds targeting strong top-end performance and reduced backpressure.

Each camshaft is manufactured in the USA to tight tolerances and includes a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty from POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS, giving you confidence whether you’re daily driving, towing heavy, or leaning on it at the track.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. When installed and tuned correctly, the PP-STG-2-6.0CAM is still very streetable and works well in daily-driven trucks. Expect a slightly more aggressive idle and stronger pull at higher RPM, especially with supporting turbo and fuel upgrades. Many builders choose this cam for tow rigs and performance street trucks that see regular daily use.

In most builds, additional valve relief machining is not required as long as valve face depth and piston protrusion fall within the specified ranges (no less than 0.020"–0.025" valve face depth and no more than 0.028" piston protrusion). However, clearance must always be verified during mock-up. Work with a qualified machine shop or engine builder to measure piston-to-valve clearance before final assembly. 

For best results, pair this camshaft with upgraded valve springs, retainers, and pushrods, plus appropriate tuning and turbo/injector upgrades. Popular combinations include:

• POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS PP-HDVSR HD Valve Spring Retainers.
• POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS PP-CAMPKG6.0 complete cam package (cam, springs, pushrods, lifters).
• Quality performance tuning matched to your injectors and turbocharger.

These components help maintain valvetrain control at higher RPM and allow you to fully take advantage of the Stage 2 profile.

This camshaft is sold as a performance upgrade and may not be legal for use on pollution-controlled vehicles in certain states, including California.
