Default Cam/verter compatibility ?

Will the F14 or F15 cam work ok with my Vig 3200 and 3.73 gears or should i stick with the F11 since i dont wanna swap verters? Thanks for any input guys!

Funny question, I'd like to know the same. I have the same setup (stall/gears), as yourself.

it will physically work, but i don't think you will be nearly as pleased with the results as if you re-stalled to say 36/3800, especially with the RJ. jmho

What he said. Sure it'll work, it just won't be ideal and I don't see the point of pointing up with a huge cam like that if you aren't going to go all the way and get a converter to match it's potential. You'd be much better off getting a cam better matched to your 3200 converter and have a more balanced setup.

Well the question is, What is the car used for??
If track then yeah you would have to restall to match your shift extentions to your shift points.
If street then no need, just tune your shift point, to your TC's shift extention.

Also it is a matter of how loose do you want to ride on a daily basis.

Its gonna be a daily driver. My goals for the car are as close to 11s cam only as i can get then maybe some mid 11s with a 75-100nx shot. I already have an F11 in my wrecked car and was just wondering if there might be a better cam to match up to the vig3200. So you guys think i should just stick w/ the F11?

I think so just put your money on a full wet kit with all the safety goodies and a tune. That alone should set you back around $1500.
