Default replacing cams while doing OPG's ?

In the next month or so I will replacing the OPG's and crank sprocket on my 18 whippled F150. While i'm in there is it worth while to replace the cams? I didn't see any options for the 18's yet but I was thinking of maybe a set of mustang cams? Should I even both.

No, the cams on late model Gen 2/3 F150 vs Mustang Coyotes are near as makes no difference and there is no power there.

Yup. Firing order variation is a killer. Looked into this to compliment the 18 manifold as my truck is lighter with 3.73s and there are NO options for the 15+ trucks. Requires a custom grind and I'm not gonna be that guinea pig.

Let it be if you're going twin screw.

All it would do it make your truck drive worse where you are 98% of the time in the power band
