They don't really mean anything. I think it was just the order they were designed in. Ford usually lists them as E, F, B, X and Z. The E cam is a 50 state legal cam. The F is regarded as a blower cam. The B and X have real similar timing events but with different lifts and the Z cam is the biggest and baddest roller Ford makes.
