Default VRX5 vs Futral F-15

Which one is better for a cam only application and which is better paired with aftermarket heads? Either one proven to make more power than the other? How about torque? Looking to swap cams and these two caught my attention, but can't find much information on how they perform! Looking for a big cam that makes good power and decent torque, and also has a nasty idle.

VRX5 (236/238 .601/.605 113 LSA)
Futral F-15 (236"/239" .600"/.611" 111LSA )

I would suggest taking a step down to the F14. I think the Futral F14 works way better then the F15 does.

Isn't that pretty much a Torquer V2. or a C-cam??

Durations may be similar, but the lobes are very different.

Futral has his own lobes and Cam Motion grinds the cams. The ones you mentioned are Comp lobes, and what most other people use.

^^^^Finally got ahold of somebody at Futral after a week straight of calling. Made a claim of 430rwhp and 400+lbs. ft. of torque on cam only LS1.....
