TFS 220 VRX5 Z28 Idle Video

Awesome cam. If I had the money for lower gears at the time, I would have opted for the VR Vindicator instead. Still, no regrets. The VRX5 has great drivability and fairly linear power for the size. This is with 3.42 gears.

I ran the F14 with Patriot Performance 243 heads, LS6 intake, 1 3/4 LTs, 130 dry shot. Car went 11.13 @ 131 on 1.86 60'. Stock 10 bolt 3.90 gears, M6. Hope that gives you some good info.

If I remember correctly Futral has their cams ground through Cammotion I believe, Vengeance uses Comp. My Vindicator and most of their cams if I'm not mistaken use Extreme Energy lobes. I would check on that, of the two I like the F-14. However, the Tick Performance SNS Torque Max stage 2 gets my vote. It also uses a much more forgiving lobe set, with the option for an even milder set-up to extend the life of your valve springs even further.
