Default F13 or F14?

Alright, should be getting my PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads this week. I am trying to decide which cam would be better for me. Car is an 01 TA with all mods listed in sig. The car has 3.42s in it now but I will get a 12 bolt with 4.10s in the future. I'm not real crazy about the idea of spinning the motor close to 7k. I would like to shift around 6500-6600. I like the idle of the f14 better but I'm afraid of giving up some torque for hp way up high in the powerband. I don't drive the car everyday, mostly just on the weekends and it will see a little time at the track, but not much. So not really worrried about fuel mileage. Has anyone had an F13 and gone to the F14 or just the opposite swap. Any help will be appreciated.

go bigger. FM14 all the way. I peak at 6500 if I remember correctly, so you won't be shifting at 7k.

With the way the FMS cams idle, go F14 without a doubt. You'll have a very streetable setup with lots of power.

When I added the cam, I also added the ASP Pulley and ported TB. But with just the Hooker LT, ORY, Corsa exhaust, air lid, and LS6 intake manifold, I dynoed at 340rwhp.

Just word of advice, get a tune ASAP once the cam is in.
