Judging from 2 of my friends with the f15 ron jeremy cam.. the f14 will be fine for daily driving.. especially with any sort of a tune. Futural cams are known for power and drivability.. so I doubt you'd have anything to worry about except for traction.

I run the F14 as a DD, its no problem.
Just gotta give it about 10 seconds to find idle every time you start it. Once it warms up you can even lug it at 800rpm just keep your foot in it.

I drive my F15 70 miles round trip to work and back every day. No problems at all. Just let it warm up a few mins before you take off.

I'm looking at that cam too and was wondering if it will clear with a 2.02 valve and no milling(5.3 head). I tried contacting Futral but I haven't heard anyhting yet.

Did you call,e-mail me or PM me?

The F14 will clear with 2.02" as long as you don't mill them.

I emailed you and talked to Candy yesterday. I think I may of emailed you again today. My names Arun. I'm looking at either the F13 112+2 or the F14 112+2 BUT i just want to make sure I have enough room with a 5.3 head .054MLS gasket on a 02 LS6 block. If I have enough clearance how much? This way i can see if i can mill any. Sorry guys i didn't mean to hijack this thread BUT I would really like to get either a F14 or F13(i would also like to know the advertised duration too)-seems like Allan's cams perform really well!
