Default Thinkin about a F13...

I was thinking about getting a F13 cam here soon, I was wondering about p/v clearance on my Stage III 5.3L TEA heads... Is a F13 too big? If it is, what are some better alternitaves that I can go with on the 5.3L Heads? Any help would be awesome.

noone can tell you if its gonna fit , you will have to get out there and check it out yourself. everyones setups are different, depends on what gaskets you are running, depends on the ACTUAL cam specs and all that. this isnt something you want to guess on either, if its off by 0.01" it coudl be the differenece from just kissing the valve to the piston.
