Just finished the install today and fired the bitch up. My first cam install and I encountered almost ever snag possible but as soon as the first 5 seconds were over where I had to watch the oil pressure like a hawk, I was happy. I can't get over how well it drives on the stock tune. I honestly thought woud be lopeier and am kinda disappointed it isn't loader/choppier. It hunts for idle frequently but I help it along by keeping my pinky toe on the gas at times. It eventually finds it at 700RPM. I am using stock rear gears with this and don't have any trouble. When I do have stable idle I can leave at 900RPM without a hickup. It does lug/shake/hickup if I go below 1300 RPM in the higher gears at low speed but that is expected.

Important questions, should I raise the idle to maybe 900RPM and drill the TB hole. What size should I start off with? I used a drill bit to size it up and I think it was close to 9/64" or something.

if you raise the idle, you will hear less lope

get a good tune and it should idle like a champ


i'm looking at a futural cam or maby the tsp torquer. hope everything turns out good for you!!

I love the chop. Go figure. I am hoping for a tune real soon. Fingers crossed for 400+ hp

Is your cam a 114 or 112? I have a 112 + 4 i cant wait to hear it! Congrats on your install.

Set the idle at 800 and she will run perfect. Don't need to drill the TB just adjust the set screw on the TB.

It's a 112 + 4. I have two videos when I first started it up but it actually blurrs the microphone on my camcorder and makes it all static-y.

I will try playing with the set set tomorrow if it ever stops raining, Thanks.

Will it ever stop hunting/sweeping for idle on the stock tune? Or is there no stopping this? Thanks

The FM13 is a nice cam. I can't wait to see some dyno #'s.

No tune or numbers yet...Should be getting a tune on Friday or at the least a dyno by Saturday.

I uploaded the following clip on my webpage. It is very large and was taken at the first startup so I had trouble knowing how to get it to idle. I'll try and get another one soon.

It is also on my cardomain site.

So, I am hoping for 400+ on the dyno. Think I can amass 40+ HP from the cam and a tune???? Whenever I see someone break 400 I never see where they were before the cam. Would be nice so I could maybe guage myself.

From the results I have read about, you should be right at 400 rwhp. It all depends on the dyno. Some are a little higher, some a little lower. With a decent tune though, I would think 400 or even 410ish should be possible.

I hope so. 410 is what I want but anything over 400 i will be grateful. i will be disappointed if i don't get it and can already see myself upgrading to a bigger bumpstick.
