FM7 Cam with 5.3 heads Anyone running this combo? Just wondering how well it performs. I'm looking to run TEA 5.3 heads and the FM7 cam with a 125 TNT wet shot. Also if the P/V clearance was alright without flycutting the pistons.
FM7 specs - 224"/230" .587"/.593" 114LSA
Thanks alot!

Re: FM7 Cam with 5.3 heads If the heads are milled .015", then you should have adequate clearance. That would be an excellent setup, especially on the gas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: FM7 Cam with 5.3 heads I don't know but I guess I might get to be one of the first. But if anyone else is running it let us know how it works!

Re: FM7 Cam with 5.3 heads I've got that cam, well lying on the shelf anyways. Allen at futral checked the P/V clearance for me. on unmilled 5.7 heads there was about .150 on the intake and .108 on the exhust, installed at 6 deg. advanced.
P.S. the actual specs on the cam where 224.8in. 233ex. and about .585 lift.

Re: FM7 Cam with 5.3 heads Well the heads came in a few days ago. Going to order up the cam tomorrow. Just bumping it up to see maybe anyone else running a similar combo? Would be great to get some Dyno estimates or times on this setup off the nitrous. I know on the nitrous it should be a monster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
