Default F303 cam ?

So I'm thinking of installing the F303 cam installed into my Mustang. When I had the GT 40 heads ported I had Tric Flow valve springs kit #2500100 from late model restoration supply installed. My question is will this valve spring package work with the F303 cam or is the cam too much?

If you stuck on the F cam those springs should be fine. But as long as your going in there I'm sure you know there's better cam choices out there then the letter cams. Even though I'm running one lol.

I'd do alittle research and dig around to see your choices, but a custom cam from a reputable cam maker is just about the best bang for the buck you can get. And being a critical part to power, it may be worth the investment. I've never heard anyone complain about going that route.

Good luck

Keep in mind if you have a factory roller block and go after market make sure of your cams base size or your lifters and push rods will have to be taken into consideration.

Personally, I would go TrickFlow Stage 1 over the letter cams, but that's just my personal opinion..

Having second thoughts on F cam. Thinking more Steeda #18 with 1.7.
