AND I FORGOT ONE!

Ranger Roller cam!

Which they say is almost as good as Ford's own A237(?) Cam.

You can get one of these from the junkyard or Ebay as well...or just steal someone's Ranger.

Yeah...guess where I got that from...MM&FF, one of the few useful 4 cylinder articles they had. Since the Ranger needs more torque, I guess the Exhaust is open more so that the turbo spools better and such, blah blah blah , yada yada.

But yeah, it was installed on a Merkur that made 397HP(with the A327 came), it made 378 or something like that with the Ranger cam.

But wouldn't a shorter duration on the exhaust provide more torque through backpressure? I guess if the lift was short enough, it'd work, but why not just spend $180 on a custom grind? I understand the want to save money, but a custom grind would probably be good for at least 20-30 hp over the ranger cam. Maybe the truck cam is just naturally perfect? I dunno. I'm just rambling here. Ignore me.

Don't remember exactly, it was in a thread somewhere I read about someone telling another person to send a cam to a guy and he'll grind it to perfection so to speak.
