the F-303 wont cause any clearence issue's and is a Great basic High performance cam----the X cam will cause piston to valve clearence problems on a stock engine----hope this answered your question-

Just a word of advice. If you don't plan on changing much else but the cam, don't put in an F or X cam.....those are for cars with aftermarket heads/intake/exhaust/gears. If you put it in a stock engine, it will be a dog and give you no power....just worse gas mileage.

.535 lift is max.

I am at .534 and have .075 between the top of the piston and valve.
