I moved your post from the 2009+ F-150 forum to the Small Block V8 (221, 260, 289, 5.0/302, 5.8/351W forum
...hopefully you can get the help you're looking for.

you can't run the HO firing order without an HO cam.. so you need to run the non-HO firing order for starters (unless by chance you put an HO motor in it). what all did he mess with when he tried messing with the firing order?
