His user profile says he's got a '92 LX so he does the ranger roller cam.

People just call it the "ranger roller" as a way to distinguish it from others. Also the specs on the ranger roller are no better/different than any other factory 2.3 cam, it's just a cheap way to upgrade to a roller cam if you don't have one. I dunno why everyone acts like the ranger roller is some kinda hot cam.

BTW a cam isn't gonna do much on a stock engine, so don't bother trying to go to something exotic.
