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 ??????

112+0

I think I have some pretty good low end torque.......F13 112LSA (+4)
No problem with stock rear gears and more torque than what I had from 3K on....

How's the p/v with the 114 (+4) on those 5.3s S1.5 unmilled?

Man, I wish I still was ready to order heads. Results like these make me anxious, since this is the exact setup I'm looking into.

I have TEA stage 2.5 5.3 heads milled .010 and a F13 cam 230 232 112+2 ans I have no problems.

What size valves do the stage 2.5's have? I'm getting ready to put PRC stage 2.5 5.3's (2.04) on with my F13 and was wondering about P/V clearance.

2.55 intake and stock 1.55 exhaust

Hmmm, I was going to go 2.05" intakes on 5.3 heads with an F13 or 14, but was told not to unless I wanted to flycut the pistons. I ended up just going with 2.02" intakes. "Very little perf difference on a 346ci motor"

AS ST2 5.3 heads with the fm13 112@+2
Good bottom end torque

TSP told me "no problem, it will fit", I just wanted to see if anyone had actually done it without flycutting.

Cool, let me know how it works out...are you going to clay them just to make sure?

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.

Ok, so if your F13 112@+2 fits on Stage 2 - 5.3 heads, a F13 114@+4 should fit on the TEA 5.3 - Stage 1.5

Was your car a PITA to tune? Do you have cats?

Thanks!

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.

i just got TEA 5.3 stg. 1.5 rev2 heads and talked to allen futral and he recommended me the F13-112+2 since i didnt want to be shifting around 6700-7000k. (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...
