Damn thats like picking between a WS6 and a SS.
Depending on what you like is where your oponion will sway.
Both are great cams and are very similar.
Both will also make very similar power.
I personially go with the TSP Torquer 2 because TSP CS is better, and Futural CS flat out sucks.

What is your setup?

Auto/6-Speed?

If Auto, stall?

Gears?

How will you use it?

etc.

Ive had both cams. The f13 will be a little more docile, and a little easier on your springs. The T2 will be a little more agressive, and will wear out the springs faster on that XER lobe. The f13 will have just a touch more torque directly off idle, but everywhere above 2k or so, the torquer own it. The torquer really impressed me whith how much harder it pulls up top without forfeiting much at all down on the low end.

Wouldn't the F14 and the Torquer be a better comparsion. But either way i would go with the Torquer cause its on XER lobes.

sorry for the hijack
I thought that they are good to around 600 lift

or can you use them but the springs might not last very long

I use duals as opposed to the 918's but not because of the lift, as 918's have been proven to .625. I would go with the duals for some added spring pressure which youll want since the XER lobes really snap the valves open and closed. IIRC, gold duals have about 10# more seat and 40# more open pressure than 918's, but my memory is hazy. Anyway, you can get patriot duals for pretty cheap, and they come with Ti retainers. Cant beat that bargain.
