i had a lunati camshaft with Comp Cams titanium dual valve springs and titanium retainers. had an forged 13.1:1 arias pistons and eagle rods, intake and my exhaust was compiled by some custom header made by a welder friend of mine and flowmasters scavenger series muffler with a turndown. 5spd. and a tune done by the same welder guy. ill try and find the dyno sheet. but man i could smoke the **** out of stock mustang gts from a dig. only thing is that i had to keep like 3 spare tires in the bed just to get decent traction. lunati has a good cam. i would rev the livin sh*t out of that truck without a problem

No its 2.3 also. i think there was also a 2.5 at some point but the current I-4 is 2.3 DOHC.

Im not sure of the adress but camcraft makes lots of cams for rangers, I got one a couple years back for my 88 2.9, I was very satisfied with it.

Only cams that i'm aware of for the 2.3 duratec is the crane cams and the cosworth cams. Crane cam had stopped making the cams due to a lack of demand in the market, but they have put together a group purchase over in a focaljet forums to get some more: http://forums.focaljet.com/duratec-t...group-buy.html
