Also what do you think my ET's will be w/ street tires. 125 shot nitrous

if you are running stock heads it will not work.you will have to fly cut your pistons to fit the lift of that cam.if you have stock heads a E-303 or B303 will work good for you.

It might actually work , when you get to that point , its not the lift but the longer duration that is going to be the cause of interference .....people put Ecams in with 1.7s rockers which makes .529 lift but they work because of the shorter duration ....I would say you only have a 50/50 chance of it working out for ya as long as you use 1.6 or stock rockers .....

Yes it will work, my cousin runs a similar set up to yours, all stock (even heads) with no probs. I ran the f cam with 1.7's on my stock ported heads and no problems either!!

I know of 2 different people running the f-cam with stock heads, but both of them have 1.6 rockers and no problems. My brother for a short time ran a lunati 512 / 512 lift cam with his stock heads and had no clearence problems.
