Description

Unleash the next level of performance in your Ford 289 or 302 Windsor engine with the Enginetech Stage 2 Camshaft. This hydraulic flat tappet camshaft is designed to provide a significant increase in mid to upper-range horsepower and torque, making it an excellent choice for performance street builds and mild track applications.

The  Stage 2 camshaft typically features a more aggressive duration and lift compared to a stock or Stage 1 cam. While specific duration figures can vary slightly based on the manufacturer’s exact grind, you can generally expect something in the range of 214-224 degrees on the intake and 224-234 degrees on the exhaust. This increased duration shifts the power band higher in the RPM range, delivering more top-end punch.

Enginetech is a reputable manufacturer of engine components, and this camshaft is built to meet or exceed OEM standards for reliability and performance. When installing a more aggressive camshaft like the Stage 2 , it is crucial to also use new, compatible lifters and often requires upgraded valve springs to handle the increased lift and prevent valve float. Proper break-in procedures are also essential. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What kind of performance increase can I expect with a Stage 2 camshaft?
   A Stage 2 camshaft will provide a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque, particularly in the mid to upper RPM ranges. You’ll likely experience a more aggressive idle and a stronger pull at higher speeds. The exact increase depends on your engine’s other modifications.
2. Do I need new lifters and valve springs with this camshaft?
   Yes, it is absolutely essential to use new hydraulic flat tappet lifters when installing a new flat tappet camshaft. Additionally, a Stage 2 camshaft typically requires upgraded valve springs with higher spring rates and possibly new retainers and keepers to handle the increased valve lift and prevent valve float at higher RPMs.
3. Will this camshaft work with my stock torque converter and rear gears?
   For automatic transmissions, a Stage 2 camshaft often requires a higher stall speed torque converter to get the engine into its power band more effectively from a standstill. You may also benefit from more aggressive rear axle gears to match the higher RPM power band.
4. Will this camshaft affect my engine’s idle?
   Yes, a Stage 2 camshaft will typically result in a more noticeable and potentially rougher idle compared to a stock camshaft.
5. Do I need to “break in” this camshaft?
   Yes, all new flat tappet camshafts require a specific 20-30 minute break-in procedure immediately after initial startup to ensure proper lubrication and prevent premature wear of the cam lobes and lifters.
6. Do you ship engine parts nationwide in South Africa?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of engine components throughout South Africa.
