yea..kinda. it might work, i dont know. but the idle id very poor and it just dont like stock motors. alot of people use the E cam or st1 trickflow. but camming a stock motor is just going to give you issues you dont need. theres alot better starting investments, such as rearend gears.

ya know dude i kinda orgot about your ports you were talking about. i think a cam would be a great idea having those ported heads/intake. its just that the F has alot of lope to it cause of the longer duration. it would probably work though but keep valve clearance in mind
