My truck runs as good as both of them, but since it is a truck it has a major traction issue. ive got all the suspesion for this car to hook hard, so i hope it does.

i would port the waste gate hole some.

I know everyone talks about the Ranger Roller cam, but its just a factory (cheap) upgrade. I have always wanted to try out the Ford (Racing) Motorsport A-237 cam. I know there are some others out there that people like Esslinger make but I cant remember the numbers off the top of my head. I know you are trying to stay within a budget, but if you put a little extra money in where it counts, then it will be all the better. I remember an article in Hot Rod or MM&FF or Super Ford (Im going to have to check my archives) that was just what you need... 300hp 2.3 I'll try to find it, but Im not making any promises.

i wasnt even aware that ford made a performance camshaft for the 2.3. If i get a different cam i will probobly go with that one.

RedSuperRanger23 · 09-25-2008, 10:18 PM

some people like it and some dont. More over on RangerPowerSports talk about the Essy (Esslinger) camshaft. There are some pretty knowlegeable people over there as well as here.

RedSuperRanger23 · 09-29-2008, 11:38 AM

I forgot all about Bo-Port...

SvoBrown · 09-29-2008, 05:37 PM

Reread my post on boport. I meant for that to be positive!! He has done a lot on 2.3T and knows his stuff. I may look at one of his cams later next year. I am happy with everything else on my car for now. Very!
