5.0L Mustang 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.

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