So its settled! There are more factory cam offerings than we initially thought. Instead of a guess that 2 makes of cams were all that was available, npi and pi, Ford actually helped us out and blessed us diehards with a selection. Thank you Ford!
Now, im still curious if matching cam part #'s are ground equally.
The 2 seperate #'s at the thread beginning were in fact ground the same, but to show consistency, 2 of the same is needed.
Also, with all the cams I have, im uncertain if any were a match from the same engine. Luckily I just aquired an exploder 4.6l and will be pulling both cams for measuring!
Just curious, did you ever get the explorer cams checked out? They should be the same Romeo cams as the 01-04 gt's. I'm also curious if they spec like the truck PI cams or not. I like having choices, but I'm still a bit put off about the Windsor pressed on gears, and the horror stories of them spinning loose. I wonder if the pressed on gears vary as wildly as the bolt ons do, timing wise.
I'm really starting to like the idea of tailoring a cam with either set of lashers. The big question is how much adjustment does that allow? If we're talking 3-4* at .050, that's a pretty big amount. It also means identical cams act smaller dropped into an NPI lashed head.
