Default Futral Ron Jeremy Cam is in! (vid inside)

First off, I want to thank Candy and Allan Futral for everything. Candy was always more than happy to help me and she set me straight with all the parts I needed

Second, big thanks to Josh (distortion_69) and Craig for the install. I was thoroughly impressed! You guys took care of me and I had a blast hanging out with you all.

On to the cam...

I first started looking for a cam about 6 months ago, and I didnt really have a clue what I wanted. I looked at tons of cams, and finally started talking to some guys in the ATL section and they were big fans of the Futral cams. I finished up my bolt ons over the summer and started saving up for the cam swap. Cam only cars were starting to get pretty popular, and I decided that this too would be my route. Next the question was, how big to go for a daily driven car. I saw Josh's signature and some posts about his cam, and needless to say after talking with him for about an hour I had made up my mind and the cam order was on its way

Specs for mine are: 236 / 239 .600 / .613 on a 111 lsa

I couldnt be any happier with the cam. The powerband is excellent, and it drives incredibly smooth for my daily driver. I almost forget its got a cam just cruising around. It drives great on stock gears. So, if any of you guys are looking for a big cam, definitely check out FMS

I have a video of it idling, but I apologize as its quite huge (10mb). Both links are the same file, just providing two links in case one goes down.

That thing sounds nasty. I just wish i knew big cams like that could still be put in a daily driver and i woulda bought something big like that.

I didnt flycut. Heads have never been off my car. I doubt it will fit without flycutting with a set of heads.

Do you think one would see gains from the lower LSA by getting the Ron Jeremy cam over a G5X3 on a 114 LSA? A4

How did it run on stock tuning? You've gotta be kidding me. 111 lsa is pretty mean for daily driving isnt it?
