Im looking around at different cams for a mildy modified motor without having to notch the pistons. I want the cam's rpm range to run up to 6200-6300 rpms. The z-303 cam would make me have to notch the pistons so i was thinking about the x-303 cam. So i was wonder what are the pros and cons to this camshaft and if someone is running it how do they like it and what mods do they have. If theres a better camshaft you know about please tell. Im doing research right now and hopefully start modding extensively beginning of january. My mods are most likely going to be close to my friends which i have listed in another post but with diferent parts here and there. If you need to know what Im going to get for sure I can post them. thanks in advance for the answers....

an f-cam is a good cam and it'll work on stock heads pistons and rockers

Do you really know your piston to valve clearance?
Use the biggest cam that allows 0.1 inches of clearance...rocker arm ratio can help also.

correct me if im wrong but i dont even think that the x cam will work with stock pistins.

Ive been told by quite a few people that the x cam will work with stock pistons. im not positive thats why im asking...Sorry if i sound like an idiot posting but i have to learn sometime lol.

the biggest cam ive seen on stock pistons is an f-cam but hey its your car try out an x-cam let us know what happens!!

I'm guessing by the name "BoostedStallion13" that you have a blower or turbo? The F cam was designed for supercharged applications. It might be a little too much lift for stock pistons.

blkcld13..What mods do you have in your car. Ive been told by a few people that an x-cam would worth with stock pistons but i would have to be 100% positive they can because i dont have the money to go back and fix it..No im not boosted, i wrote it when that was my plan but the budget got smaller so im going to go NX..
