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

Go here 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.
