No it's the normal one, I am hoping that once I get her tuned to be making about 380 at the wheels. That would be real cool especially since I've only spent about 1200 bucks on CAI, headers, exhaust, cam, pushrods, valve springs, plug wires, plugs, and gaskets. The only stuff I bought new was the spring kit, the plugs, wires, and of coarse gaskets, everything else, I bought on here in the classified section. Oh and I sold some stock parts and the lid that was originally on it to off set a little of that cost.

Actually that was the first start after install and it drove like absolute dog **** at first, kept stalling and was surging like crazy. Then we stole a tune from a friend of mine with a similar cam (slightly larger) and it runs much better. It definitely still needs a tune as it surges some at part throttle but at least it's not stalling out every time I come to a stop.

mine surges at every stop light (doesn't stall though), and surges for 5 mins after start up, and i have some nasty cam surge/bucking at low speeds.

time for some new mods and a new tune

granted i've been saying that for 3 yrs

The F13 is a good off the shelf cam. I ran one for a little over a year. It will buck/surge at low rpm without a good tune though.

I saw where an A4 car made 405 rwhp with this cam, LTs, full exhaust, a tb and pulley, so I could see it making 450 with those plus intake and heads. Mine is going to be cam only for a while since I am doing rear end next, because I have a wet kit that's been itching to go on. I might do intake and heads after tax returns next year, by then maybe the new Weiand intake will be out.

My favorite part was with the stock tune, Bobby saying that it already felt way more powerful. I put that other tune in and the damn thing starts better than my car that is already tuned. It surges and bucks, but is definately driveable right now, and a little data logging today revealed only 1 small KR instance, and the car is just more rich than anything else.

He needs to see my guy, get it tuned, and just spray one pull to make sure the n2o is dialed in and the fuel pump can keep up.

I put 397 to the wheels with my F13 on a 114 and that's without an underdrive pulley and a terribly ported throttle body that I got for $50.

Is that with or without the LS6 intake in your sig? If it's without it I'm even more excited to see what she'll do now!
