the ranger is a roller cam and you shouldnt use it without the correct roller rockers.

The XR4Ti cam will hurt power if you use it. Use the ranger cam, especially if its a roller cam. Its a factory cam, so you dont have to worry about fuel.

Use the RR, it is so much better than the XR4TI one. Its good for midrang power on the 2.3
