how was you able to run that cam with stock pistons?

I had a .542/.542 x cam in mine with P&P OE heads.
Magic? Need proof I'm running it?
NO, but I would like to know what your piston to valve clearance is with what ratio rocker arms for that combination and how thick a head gasket are you using????

I'm not sure the piston valve clearance. The cam went in with no problems with the OE 1.6 rockers & replacement OE headgaskets.

You will have some when I get a micrometer. I'll look for one. This cam will work on a stock 302 anyway.

the x cam works with a lot of stock stangs, but most likely your in california considering cams, i would go with the E, not a bad cam, but still adds power, and as far as the clutch goes, go with king cobra all the way, its pretty stiff, but definetly is worth it, my best friend runs a 342 stroker engine with it and hasn't had a problem in a little over a year, but then again, he doesn't do a lot of stop and go driving
