They're very close.
About a year ago I was in the same boat, yet it was TSP231/237 vs. TR230 in my case.

I picked one and haven't looked back since. I would have been fine with either.
Correct. But, within the realm of these camshafts, I would sacrifice a 1-2 10ths for better street driving.

From what I 've heard/seen, both cams can get you 40-45 more hp. But I "think" the FM ones can do it while still preserving the low end. I am going to call them now.

My personal driving habits are like a paw paw. Shifting around 2300 to 2500 with my M6. City driving i tend to keep it around 2000rpm. IMHO whenever i roll into the throttle with this cam you feel the power hard WOT @ 2500ish and then 3000rpm it sets you back and doesn't stop pulling till rev limit(6800).

I just recently brought my car to the track and allan was there with me. He let me use his Nitto's and I got an 11.9 @ 118.98. He agrees that my car (full wieght) could see 11.8 @ 119 maybe 120, this is all with a 1.86ish 60'ft.

I have no knowledge of the TSP cam, but im just trying to let you know what kind of performance and drivability you can get from this F13 cam. Hope you are happy with your choice!!!

The FM13 is on the way along with the PRC spring kit. Had to go with a cam that's already proven itself.

I'd check 'em at 20k miles... they should last at least that long.

Called FMS but I was still waiting for a response to whether I would benefit from the tradition split over a standard. I don't know which one I what to fully commit to. Don't have much info on the torquer and can't find a FM13 on a comparable car to mine.
