GSC Power F150 Coyote Gen 3 Cam Set S2 Series
When you want the Coyote to live on the big end, run S2. The GSC S2 profile is an aggressive street/strip cam set designed to carry power hard to 8,100 rpm on OEM-port heads. Ramps and events are modeled against real Gen 3 port behavior and rocker geometry, then cut from our U.S.-made forged billet blanks and finished with BLACK ISE for reduced friction and long life. Built for pump gas, race fuel, or ethanol blends (E85/E90), with a powerband that comes on at ~5,800 and pulls through 8,500 rpm. 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.
Expect stronger top-end than S1 and a rowdier character. This set is for builds that prioritize trap speed and track numbers over commuting manners. Tuners typically keep VCT online within a tighter phasing window for best results at high rpm.
Highlights
Profile intent: Aggressive Street/Strip with stronger top-end on OEM-port heads
Fuel: Pump gas, race fuel, E85/E90
Peak power: ~8,100 rpm · Powerband: 5,800–8,500 rpm
Valve springs: Upgrade required (use GSC-matched springs; Ti retainers recommended)
VCT: Tuner-managed phasing window recommended for high-rpm stability
DI fuel pump lobe: Maintains OEM lobe data for correct HPFP stroke/timing; compatible with factory and most upgraded DI pumps
Manufacturing: MADE IN THE USA; forged from proprietary U.S.-sourced bearing-grade steel, BLACK ISE surface treatment, CNC to tighter-than-OEM tolerances
Fitment: 2018-2023 Gen 3 F150 5.0L
Tuning & Install Notes
Clearance: Always verify piston-to-valve clearance with your exact heads/pistons/gasket stack. With OEM pistons and deck heights, the full phaser range is usable without clearance issues.
Use upgraded valve springs (and Ti retainers) set to the tuner’s rev limit; check installed height and coil bind
See install sheet for torque sequence and procedures; prime oiling and fuel (HPFP follower inspection) on reassembly

About GSC Coyote Camshafts:
5.0L F150 GEN 3 Camshafts
You didn’t buy a 5.0 to blend in. Whether you’re staying NA, strapping on a blower, or chasing four-digit turbo numbers, GSC’s Gen 3 Coyote camshafts are built to hit harder across the entire RPM band.
These profiles aren’t guesswork—they’re the result of computer-aided simulation, decades of valvetrain engineering, and our proprietary port-balancing process that syncs valve events with real cylinder head flow. The result? Maximum lift, precise rocker geometry, and cams that keep VCT functionality so your Mustang stays civil at cruise and brutal at WOT.
At the core is GSC’s exclusive forged billet blank, made in-house from U.S. bearing-grade alloy steel—sourced from a single American mill for consistency you can trust. We finish every cam with our BLACK ISE surface treatment for friction reduction and extreme wear protection. Precision-machined on cutting-edge CNCs, these cams hold tighter tolerances than OEM and deliver repeatable, record-setting performance.
