I think it'll top the -13 by ~10-15 peak. Not too much more. What you also have to realize is that FMS claims the powerband is 3k-7k, whereas the -13 is advertised as having a 2500-6800 band. So it doesn't peak too much higher, but you may lose some low end.

FWIW: We got that cam a few weeks ago and just put it in a car. We will be at thunder running the car if all goes correctly. Possibly dynoing before then if time allows. I have a feeling its not going to make much less than the RJ, but will allow more options when it comes to heads, and be less peaky. Probably another 470-480rwhp cam in the right combo. One thing about Futral cams is they tend to make more power for the amount of duration used. So it will be interesting to see what numbers it will make. I imagine Allan spent some time designing this cam, because he never does anything halfass. So I would expect the same ol' FMS top notch performance

I'll try and let you guys know #'s if nobody else posts them shortly. The owner of the car is currently banned, unfortunately, otherwise he could post them himself

Peace,
Josh

You all think it would clear some AFR'S w/o flycutting? That was my concern w/ the RJ cam.

If it clears stock heads, it should clear AFR's. AFR has a little extra margin (~.015)

I have also seen Mamo post that the AFR's provide as little as .005 -.008 more clearance (which is still nice).
I am not sure which is true but I figured I would add that bit of info since it came up.

2muchrice I will talk to david at mti and see when he wants to get the specs out. I will tell you this, its biggere than the F14 and where flycutting my pistons right now. I believe when we dyno tune her then they want the specs out-want numbers to go with it. One better is, I`m putting LSX90,90TB, Kooks 1 7/8 with it. Should be over 450rwhp with A4 easy!! As soon as everything is done I will put specs and results with dyno sheetout. Talk Soon!!! then I`mgoing to spray it
