If those are all your mods get some lts and a intake manifold first if you want to see the full potential from the cam.

definitely going to want an LS6 or LSX intake manifold to go with that cam. It'll want to breathe up top, and it'll get choked off once you start hitting rpms above 5500 rpms. With full bolt-ons, the Futral cams put out awesome numbers.

With that cam's lift and duration, you're at the ragged edge as to what 918's should be used for, IMHO.

You're better off going with a good dual spring if you can swing it.

If you get that cam get the package with the manely valvetrain kit. It's the kit I got when I bought the F13. You would also want a ASP under drive pulley,30lb injectors, PORTED TB, and you will see great numbers

I dont think you will need the injectors yet, but soon probally after.
Defentially need a better intake as well.

Well it will definately have a lope to it for sure. And with a good tune you'll be able to daily drive it no problem. It wouldn't be considered a "big" cam, but definately not small for sure. It's actually the same cam I will be going with. As others have said, get the dual springs and you'll be good to go. Futural cams are known for their great drivability as well as good power output.

Cody I was going to of with this cam, (went a little bigger) I talked to Futral and they said that this cam will need dual springs. and since you a M6 get it on a 112LSA and it will lope more that a 114LSA because the LSA effect eh overlap and thats what will give the lope.

on a 112 the over lap is 9* and on a 114 its 5*
you need to come by the next COFBA meeting and hear my cam its a 20* overlap but there are others that have about the same you looking for

I ordered a F14 earlier this week, hope to get it in soon.

what about 99 26#(?) injectors, will these work ok for now, I was concerned with the high rpms being a problem for them. I will talk to Alan about it, but havent yet
