It sounds like you don't want anything too big....an F13 would probably be great for you. I have an F14 in my car and I love it. A lot of guys (including me) really like Futral's stuff.

I just looked at their website and the F-11 seems like a decent sized cam for me. Anyone have any dyno graphs of this cam? What #'s are the norm with this cam?

Have you ever seen the Katech 229 cam ?
I like that cam very much and it should have great overall power.

No, I haven't seen that cam. I'll check it out. I've been reading up on the street sweeper cam though.

If I go with a big cam won't I have to change valve springs every 15,000 or so miles? That's what I was told and I haven't really researched
on big cams.
I ran TSP dual valve springs for 45,000 miles before I changed them on a TSP Torquer cam ( 232/234/ .595/.598 112) .... and they were still within specs when I replaced them .... you can change themout every 15k miles (another old wives' tale) if you like to do the work but it is not needed..call TSP and ask them how long they run springs in their personel cars and you will be surprised at the answer.

the V2 which you have and the V3 are different. The intake lift on the V3 is like .642. Thats a lot harder on springs.
