Ready for FM14 About a few months ago I put an LS6 cam and long tubes in. I replaced the intake valves, intake pushrods, new springs, and new lifters. The springs and lifters aren't stock LS1 parts. Well I have been running into weird problems with bogging and everything. I originally did the project so I could tear my engine apart and learn something.
I have been researching the FM14 cam and it seems like it would be pretty good for what I want to do. What I want to know is will it be fine to put into the car with the lifters and springs I have? I rarely hot rod the car and drive it pretty conservatively with this 3.10/gallon.... Opinions are greatly appreciated

You might want to list what springs they are?
An F14 is a .600" lift cam (.598) so any good springs that will support a .650 lift cam should work fine.
I bought PRC gold duals to run with an F14.

Well, where can I find these springs.. I was hoping to keep it around $400. I am only 17. I am kinda iffy about tearing the engine down again, but I had fun.
