I always do because I like to be careful. When running on the juice I always had good luck with the E-303. I also know alot of guys that shot their cars with a B-303 and they loved it. I like the FRPP cams myself. (in reply to DougBlevins) Post #: 3

(which was WAY cool by the way) But you definitely heard and felt a difference. It was a nasty cam. Check to see if the F has any piston to valve clearance problems. I dont think it does but im not 100% sure. Good luck with whichever you chose Doug. (in reply to DougBlevins) Post #: 14
