Detailed Application Notes

This MTF-2 camshaft is intended for performance-oriented builds that need stronger torque and usable street manners. It is a direct fit for a wide range of Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Mercury Cougar applications, along with many other classic Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models listed in the fitment data. The profile is designed to deliver a broad powerband without moving into an extreme race-only setup, making it a practical choice for street, RV, strip, and circle track combinations.

What It Helps Address

• Weak low-speed torque in a performance rebuild
• Flat throttle response during everyday driving
• Need for a cam profile that works with mild engine modifications
• Desire for stronger mid-range power delivery
• Replacement of a worn or mismatched performance camshaft

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm valve train compatibility before installation, including lifter type, rocker arm ratio, and overall engine setup. This camshaft uses a hydraulic flat tappet design and is not computer controlled compatible. Fitment includes non-California-compliant performance applications, so verify local emissions requirements before purchase. Part number MTF-2 should be matched to the engine build and intended use.
