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.

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.

Bo-port. This is the last guy you need to talk to.
You can find some of his stuff on youtube under boport

My budget won't let me buy right now but if I could!!!!

+1!!!!!

I wouldn't do the FRPP cam

i have done some dealings with boport and he is a great guy and knows his 2.3s!

I forgot all about Bo-Port...

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!

Try these guys for Ford turbo 2.3 stuff.
