Default Which cam to choose ?

I think I have narrowed it down to 2 cams that I like to upgrade too in the near future . I currently have a TSP 224/224 .566/.566 115 lsa cam . Both of these cams look good to me and I don't think I could go wrong with either one. Maybe I'm wrong , tell me what you guys think .

1) FMS F13 230/234 .595/.585 114 (2500-6800 )

2) EPS 222/226 .597/.598 113 (1500-6800) may change the duration to 226/230

My goal is to remain very streetable ,but improve performance at the strip as well. I plan on upgrading my stall to SS4000 Yank within the next few weeks.

I will probably do just that one day next week. I've talked to FMS a week ago and they were very helpful as well. I just want to get the most out of either one I choose . Streetability is very important to me. My car isn't a lightweight and neither am I .

I was on the EPS site looking for the 226/230 cam and didn't see it . What are the specs on it ?

I can honestly say ,the tune is the last thing that I'm worried about . Frost is just across town from me . I like the reverse split numbers of the F13 and I have a good feeling about that cam . It should work like a supercharger in a sense by getting the air and out quickly... I think .

Agreed!

Give Geoff a call, he's an easy guy to talk too and can spec you a cam over the phone.

Also, FMS has a 226/230 cam (112 or 114 lsa).
