They are almost the same exact cam specs.

The FMS will be a more efficient cam. FMS lobes & ramps are much more radical compared to a Comp grind cam.

Well i just saw the specs of the g5x1 posted below and it is a bit different. Intake lift is larger than exhaust lift on the g5x1. This is reversed on the f11. My f11 speced out to 228.9/230 .576 .593 111.9 lsa. If your using nitrous definitely look at the f11. Valve events are similar based on the duration. This is as far as i can comment since im not a cam expert.

Check my bro sig . And I answered your question already with my previous statement.

FMS cams are designed to sport bigger lobes and faster ramps, which enables one to run a smaller duration cam but make big cam #'s while retaining a LOT more driveability. My cam is HALF the size of most of today's popular Comp Cam grinds. I believe FMS is one step ahead of the game is this department.
