Default Futral Motorsports F15

I just picked up a FMS f15 cam for my 00 m6 ss. The specs are .236/.239 .640/.612 111lsa. Im planning of putting it in with lts/offroad y pipe with a spintech muffler,ls6 manifold, ls2 timing chain,high pressure oil pump, and a .650 valve spring kit. Ive tried search for any input on the cam but no luck. Anyone have any input? Also should i stay with the stocker 3:42s or go up to 4:10s? Ill be driving the car on the weekends and about 2 days a week to work. 25mile round trip. I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks

Do the gear change to 4.11s, and with 15.5* overlap make sure you check the valve/pistons clearance and fly cut if needed.

If you have the heads off, Id recommend at least having the heads mildly ported.

Honestly I was thinking of it, but I'm planning to get some PRC stg2.5 5.3 heads or some PRC as cast 225 sometime around Aug.

I see your on the other side of the hill from me.

Send Allan Futral an e-mail pic of the cam to make sure it's the real deal. I would say it would be marked in some way to distinguish it as a Futral Motorsport/Allan Futral cam. Hope you didn't get ripped off with some piece of **** re-ground cam.

Here is Allan's e-mail:

The cam should be engraved with identifying info, if not how would even the manufacture at a glance know what which shop it was for and what grind it is?
Better yet how does the person you bought it from even know what cam it is if it has no identifying markings..?
IMO, I'd request a refund and return it.

Did you buy it used off here? If so, I'd ship it back to the seller and demand your money back, plus the cost to ship it back. I'll bet you anything it's a re-ground cam and measures in no where near what it's supposed to be.

Most definitely not one of ours. The core is not even one that we would use. If you have a shop locally with a cam doctor I would get them to roll it and and check the specs. We could do it for you not sure what shipping would cost you though. If you decide to get your money back and still want an F15 give me a call or PM me.

I messaged the guy I bought it off of, hes being a good guy about the situation and refunding me the cash. He bought it off someone else so its not his fault.
Thanks for all the help fellas, Dallas you have a PM sir.

Just buy the cam new from Futral. It's not worth it buying used, plus, cams aren't all that expensive anyway.

My Futral cam had Futral, as well as the cam specs engraved on it. I had it custom speced for my car though so I'm not sure if they all have the specs engraved. Dallas is definetly a cool guy to work with.
