Stock valves and............??

You will want/need a proper exhaust system first. Gears would help a little bit as well, and if you have a manual you need a new converter.

Search and read the stickies.


Edit: Oh yeah, you will of course also want to get a valvespring kit and hardened pushrods.

You're going to at the VERY minimum need to upgrade the valvesprings, and you should probably upgrade the pushrods to hardened aftermarket pushrods. You'll want all the supporting mods to take advantage of that cam, a stock exhaust could choke it.

I would upgrade the valve train if I was you. I have the F13 230-232 595/585 112LSA and I went with the MANLEY KIT from FUTARL

First finish your bolt ons, induction, TB, gears (M6) or stall A4, then move into cam territory

I believe all the FM cams can be used on stock longblock motors right up to the fm-15 (ron jeremy cam)
