Default F13 gains?

i know every car is different and i won't know for sure until i get it dyno'd, but what kind of gains have people made by adding futral's f13 cam? i'm putting an f13 in over the weekend and was wondering what kind of ballpark to expect.

not the biggest cam, but certainly not the smallest either.

I would guess you will make around 380rwhp or what translates into somehwere around a 40-50 rwhp increase.

FYI, the FM13 works best on a 111-113ICL. On a 112+4 you've got it on a 108ICL, and will give up some power because the cam will be running out of breath earlier than it should.

If you have the ability, I would degree the camshaft in on a 112 straight up. It will perform better all the way around. FWIW, I made 460/414 almost 8 years ago with an FM13/114LSA with no advance, and a set of TEA 5.3 Stg 1.5's.

That cam will also require a 7.425 or 7.450 pushrod on stock heads.

One of the lobes got ate up so I'm actually in the middle of looking for another one. I plan on doing heads and a bigger cam later on this summer which is why I don't wanna fork out $400 on a new one but its looking like I'm gonna have too. Car is a blast to drive around and the tunes pretty old so I'm sure some more power could be squeezed out of it with a more aggressive tune. It'll break loose at a 30mph roll with 315's on the back
