I do believve that having a roller cam and followers put in would add around 15hp over stock. I am just saying this because 87-90 2.3 Mustangs come stock with 88hp, and 91-93 are factory at 105hp. I dont think there were any other changes with the exception of the roller cam.

Well, your on the right track , but this land has already been pioneered...so listen up! 
87-90- non roller
91-93 roller cam
ranger roller's will work
91-93 2.3's rated at 105 hp
---Changes made (among other things)
A: dual plug head
B:distrubterless ignition system (DIS)
C:roller cam/followers
D: Mass air (87-90 were/are speed density)
The cam by itself is *maybe* 5-10 hp, but good to have none less...if the price is right. The roller followers are the important part anways.

Im not sure, it would increase flow, but an unported head , un ported intake ...ive seen 20-30hp gains (rear wheel) on turbo setups . Not really sure, i think bhuff was running an a237 equivalant, ask him?jbtelfer said:

the 91+ had 105hp... the rest of the crap made for WORSE performance, not better. So if you put the roller cam in the 4 plug motor you should get maybe 20hp gain. I'm just talking out my ass, we'll see how the car runs when I get it back together.

well all i can say is that i put the a237 roller cam in a ported and milled S/D motor and she runs like a raped ape. the only problem i have now is that she's always hitting the rev limiter and the plugs come out on the very light looking side. wish i could extend the rev limiter and also throw some more fuel into her at the higher rpm's. does anybody know what the next size injectors would be and what vehicle would they come out of? yes i have an AFPR and she's set at 45lbs at idle.

So, basically, the A237 cam is not really a great investment for a n/a Mustang? Perhaps I will just go with a Ranger roller.

So I can take the cam and followers out of my '92 N/A motor and swap them into the '88 Turbo motor when I rebuild it and pick up some extra HP? Is the roller cam from a '92 2.3 'stang the same as the infamous Ranger roller cam?

I also think that it is the same one. I'm not postive either, but I'm pretty damn sure.

Thanks to all that replied (and I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread).
Pro-Hawk, I know you said the '92 mustang cam is better than an 88 mustang cam, but is the 92 mustang cam better than the 88 TurboCoupe cam?? I have a complete '88 turbocoupe motor that I'm putting in the '92 mustang. Should I swap the cams when I have it rebuilt?
Thanks again,
WES

The stock TC cams are not a roller where the 91-93' mustang cam or 91-96' Ranger 2.3L is. Now the gain from putting in a roller cam into a 2.3T is probly small (5-10hp) but its a pretty simple/cheap hp gain. Also I've read that the roller makes a 2.3T more streetable as in easier driving I think. This is what I'm doing to my car as we speak to tell the truth. If you click on my link I got a few pics of the roller lefters/followers and the stock ones. Now I bought my head with a roller in it so I'm guessing its a Ranger but could be a mustang
If your going to rebuild the motor before installing it, I would pop a roller cam in it with some new cam bearings
I would also do some port work on that E6 exhaust mainifold. I read where someone dyno a E6 ported to add 11hp Then if you're still bored I would port match the intakes 
Man I got bored and started doing all kinds of crap on my car.P.S. just saw your sig. Since you got that GT, I would go ahead and swap that cam from the 92 mustang to the 2.3T
