I run a F-303 cam with TFS TW no flycuting was needed..

The TW have the big valve (2.02-1.60)
The stock E7 have if im not wrong 1.76 and 1.54 valves

So.... i really dont see why it wont pass..... really dont....

Flycutting the pistons, no, the stock heads and valves, fine, but the stock valve springs are not. The guy I just bought all my fuel upgrades from is parting out. He was running the F cam with stock valve springs. He got valve float at a little over 3500rpms, and about a year after installing the cam the valve spring broke, and destroyed the engine.

I bought new crane spring for the heads. The reason I am doing stock heads is I want to see what I can get out of this engine with factory stuff, plus a cam. My goal is to do mid 11's on spray with a stock suspention and and stock motor with work done to it.Plus I'm cheap.Money is tight right now! I hear the F cam has too much lift and will need a flycut done to have it work.
