F13 cam owners in please
F13 = 230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA (+4)
or
F13 = 230"/230" .595"/.595" 114LSA (+4)
I need opinions on how this cam should do with TEA 5.3 Stage 1.5 UNMILLED heads.
Low end torque a must. 114lsa +4 ??????

I was going to go for the 2.05" I really wanted them, but Futral and a few other reputable names said that it may work, but a big IF. This along with the fact that 2.02"s can be done on stock seats I decided not to push my luck.
I'm also decided to step up to the F14 which is even less friendly towards the 2.05" valves.

I'm thinking about stepping up to this cam also, but I haven't heard of anyone using it in an A4 yet. I have GTP stg 2 heads and 224/224 .581" 114lsa cam right now, but wanting to go a little bigger. Everything I've read, it's been recommended to go with the F13 on a 112 +2 or 112 +0 if you weren't afraid to shift pretty high. What do you guys think would be ideal for an AUTO, and what should I have my stall/re-stalled to. It's a vig 2800 2.5str, but stalls closer to 32-3300.

(which is the range of the F14) he told me that the F13 112+2 is better for 6spd cars and +4 was better for auto's..actually let me correct myself 114 was better for auto's...he told me why but i forgot but if you talk with him, he'll let you know...thats my advice...just from talking with him i could tell he knew what the hell he was talking about...no hesitation, no "if's, or's, i dont know's" he answered me as soon as i asked the questions...good guy and really knowledgeable...
