Drop-In Camshaft Design
The Stage 1 camshaft is designed as a drop-in application that does not normally require fly-cut pistons.
However, piston-to-valve clearance should always be verified during engine assembly. Cylinder head machining, block machining, head gasket thickness, piston configuration, and other modifications can affect available clearance.
OBS Fuel System Notice
1994–1997 OBS 7.3L Powerstroke trucks require an electric fuel pump conversion.
This camshaft does not have the eccentric lobe required to operate the factory mechanical fuel pump. OBS applications will require an electric fuel pump system such as an AirDog, FASS, or equivalent setup.
Tuning Compatibility
The Stage 1 camshaft is compatible with:
-
Factory tuning
-
Aftermarket tuning
