Wouldn't a 2.3T cam be different from one in, say, a Ranger?

Go here http://www.merkurencyclopedia.com/ (http://www.merkurencyclopedia.com/) and click on camshaft on the left hand side.  It will give you specs of a bunch of different cams.  Hope that helps.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that you have it set as roller lifters?  I dont' know much about that stuff so I am not sure.  But the stock cam did not come with the roller lifters.
