I have been researching camshafts for quite a while now for my 2000 corvette. It has an ls6 intake with stock heads. It will be getting lontubes when I install a cam along with springs, pushrods, etc. I have it narrowed down between the eps 226/230 and the f13. What do you think?

F13 gets my vote!

It depends what you are trying to achieve and the powerband desired.

The power bands will be similar, with the FM13 probably edging out a little more power up top. The EPS cam will be A LOT quieter on the valvetrain, and probably have a tad better manners.

FWIW, I made 400ft lbs of TQ @ 3600 rpms with FM13/TEA 1.5s and 11.5:1 compression about 7 years ago. Final #'s were 460/414. Way back before FAST intakes existed.

EPS hands down

F13 for sure. Futral cams make a ton of power. Do a search and you'll find dyno numbers with and without heads. There's even an F13 on a 112 LSA forf sale in the classifieds section. I'd jump on it.

those EPS cams are really quite on your valvetrain & for your DD EPS gets my vote ...*02WS6TURK* has the same cam & you can get alot of good review from this cam from him & other members on this forum .... F13 maybe a better cam comparitively but those EPS lobes are really making great numbers with lower impact on your valave train.

The EPS 226/230 will net you great gains all over the board and at the same time be easy on the valve train. I would go w/ a 112lsa as well.

Sounds like they are both good cams. I take it to the track ocassionally but most of the time i just drive it on the street. Will be shifting at around 6200 rpm. The eps sounds like it would be better for the valvetrain.

If it's more for street use I would def go EPS. Bump the shift points up a bit too I'm shifting at 6700.

For sure if this is a street car i would go esp 226 230 111lsa+2 if a manual. You have a 6spd of auto?

yea do the cam i listed two posts up. You'll make great power through the entire curve and make great torque. The cam has 6 degrees of overlap at .050 but that should be pretty easily tuned. This cam will lope pretty hard as well, i don't know if you were looking for that, but its a byproduct of this cam.

I was very happy with my f13 and had a great power band.

226/230 112+2 EPS cam, ordered the same one a while ago. I would bump the shiftpoints to 6400rpm at least though or go with a 112+4.

EPS cams have been laying down great numbers, whatever the setup, with smaller profiles. That would get my vote, but the Futral cams seem to put some good numbers as well.

Its a 6 speed. I thought the rod bolts on the 00 and below were not good for high rpm

Some people are taking 2000's to 7000rpm, I wouldn't recommend that but 6400rpm should still be safe.

Sounds like these two cams are so close that the results wouldn't be much different. Thanks for all the advice.
