I'd like to keep my power down low with a broad powerband. It is a street car and I know I CAN daily drive really anything.. I don't want to flycut either. That's why I felt the F14 or the TSP cam would be the best choice but if there's quite a few of you that have problems with Comp then I'd rather not use them because this is what get's me to work and stuff so it needs to be decently reliable as well. hmm... Decisions decisions...Thanks for all the info!

Compare the quantity of cams sold by each company...I would imagine Comp surpasses most companies in sales. Just because they've had a few defects does not pertain to the ENTIRETY of the company. Let's talk about the MILLIONS of successful units Comp has produced. If companies like Texas Speed thought it was a liability to carry Comp, they wouldn't do it. I don't think you can go wrong with the FM14, but don't steer away from other possibilities..
I stand behind my comments. They are terrible. If I find 10 local ones bad that says something just on the last year. Stay away from Comp and if you insist on getting one-have it checked. They are by far the worst cam grinder. Period

What's the difference in overlap degree's? What makes this crucial?
Sorry for the newb questions, I'm still learning.

I ran a F14 HL 114lsa for a couple years in my dd 01 m6 ss. It made 434rwhp/396rwtq SAE on Futrals dyno. On a 125dry shot it made 565rwhp/585rwtq. I ran 4.30s and 3.90s with it. I was also running some patriot 243 stage 2 heads.
Had good street manners and the power came on quick.

The slightly lower duration shifts the powerband slightly lower along with where the trq peaks at, and it also slightly increase the DCR which improves lowend power. Going with a wider 113 or 114 LSA will give a wider/flatter power band with less peak power. The lower overlap might make it easier to tune under 2k.

I have had my Futral FM13 regular lift cam since 2004 and has been a GREAT CAM and had a tones of fun and runs with it without a minutes trouble to date. Ran it with stock GM 243 up till a few months ago on the heads and moved up to the Trick Flow 215 heads, no times or dyno numbers yet with the Trick Flows!

Sounds like this cam is getting my vote. Does anyone know where I can get a decent cam swap kit? FMS has the upgrade kit with dual springs, PR, blah blah.. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't come with an timing chain, oil pump, and all that. I'm going to get LS2 trays and LS7 lifters as well; Not to turn this into a cam swap thread but is there anything else I need? I'm looking into the Comp trunion upgrade as well. Anything?
Thanks for the info guys, you all helped make up my mind!

Did you do the install yourself? What else did you install when installing this cam?
Thanks for the info!
