yeah i don't know why this cam is bought so much...the f-13 from futral is usually a 400-415 rwhp CAM ONLY cam...you'd have to have heads with the tsp231 to get those numbers...and they are basically the same size...plus futral's low-end is far superior to this cam as well...

For comparison's sake (they look very similar), here's my old stock-head/ 231/237 graph (with a ported TB and UD pulley, thru a 9" with 4.11's).......

i guess i need to get me a ported tb and a pulley...i'm about to seafoam the engine next oil change...i went looking today and couldn't find any...umm i think there is a lot of stuff in there...for one it has 100k miles on the engine...last week the car was running super rich...umm like 3months and the spark plugs were toast rich...so i'd say there is a lot of carbon up in there...

southfl.02.ss - my heads have been worked on somewhat...i've seen the intake ports...i guess they aren't that good...haha...i might redyno it after everything is done...i just don't feel like driving 100 miles to tampa to do it...

I dynoed 382 rwhp and 351 rwtq SAE on mine... with the mods in my sig (minus the LSX intake, which I just added). Powerband is really flat, so that was nice to see. Wasn't disappointed considering I'm dynoing through a 12 bolt with 4.11 gears, a denny's nitrous ready driveshaft, and heavier 17" wheels instead of the stock 16".

The numbers were 401 rwhp and 370 rwtq uncorrected. Before the cam I dynoed 336 rwhp and 337 rwtq, so it gained 46 rwhp and 14 rwtq. The only things added between dynos was the cam, the driveshaft and the wheels (both hurt dyno numbers a little).

well i guess i'll add a few more things...i have zr1 replicas with 315's on the back, also a spec stg2 clutch that is somewhat going downhill...and i just recently had a few problems with the engine (running supper rich) so i'll sea foam it, get a tb and pulley and have it retuned.. i'm sure i'll break 400rwhp
