Default Cam question. F13 and lm7

As the title says, I'm looking for some insight. I have an f13 that I used in my ls1. But that motor bit the dust. Would I be able to use this cam in an lm7 5.3 motor? I will be putting my 243 heads and the turbo back on. T70 and looking at 10+ psi. Also have the patriot gold dual springs. I'm thinking this cam may be too big, but would like to get other opinions.

I actually was thinking of running that cam in my LM7 about a year ago. I called Futral asking if it would work. They said f13's are meant for the bigger cubes(5.7's and 6.0's). It would work but the power would be too high in the rpm's and would have to run a high stall converter. You being turbo'd might be a different story though. You can always call Futral.

Thank you. I ended up calling them, and sent an email to Allan down at futral. My guess is, too big or not efficient. So we'll see. I just don't want to have to buy another cam if i don't have to.

If you decide to change it I may be in the market for that cam
