Default futral f14 cam work with stock springs and pushrods??

no sure were this is suppose to be posted it but i have a 2004 gto ls1 in my 240sx. it is drift car with very little street driving well i was looking at the f13 or f14 cam but futral says i need the springs retainers and pushrods to support it. i wasn just wandering how many people run it with stock stuff and for how long you have been running it.

I dont think youll find anyone whos running there stock springs on those two cams. Its definately not recommended and I dont think it would last more than a few minutes of run time if it were attempted...

I agree...it is almost a necessity to change them. It will only cost you around 200-300$ to get pushrods and springs. I ran the PAC beehive springs with my F14 and i would say to run the same for you if youre on a budget. If not the get some dual springs.....cant hurt!

Not even a chance. Those cams are around .600 lift. The stock cam is below .500. The springs can even begin to support that and once you upgrade the springs you need stronger rods to compress them.

It's always brilliant to run a more aggressive cam with stock springs. What's the worst that can happen, anyway?

Jus to pile on, it costs way more to repair a damaged valvetrain than it does to spend money for the right parts. Don't EVER go cheap with your valvetrain when you replace the cam. EVER.

Deff not a good idea for the lift on those cams. I would go with pac dual gold springs. They are awesome! F14 cam on 112 lsa sounds BA too!
