We present results from ab initio no-core full configuration simulations of the exotic proton-rich nucleus 14F, whose first experimental observation is expected soon. Calculations with the JISP16 NN interaction are performed up to the Nmax=8 basis space. The binding energy is evaluated using an extrapolation technique. This technique is generalized to excitation energies, verified in calculations of 6Li, and applied to 14F and 14B, the 14F mirror, for which some data are available.
