Default F13 is in....

My first impressions......


The car pulls like a bat out of hell. Have the shift points set for 6600RPMs which seems like a good spot for the cam, as it pulls all the way to that point. Car feels like it has a boatload more torque at lower RPMs as well.

The car got tuned & it drives pretty well (on a 114LSA). It surges a bit around 1500RPMs when coming to a stop & it seems like the car wants to drive itself *cruise affect* after coming to a dead stop. The idle is noticeably different (yet not as lopey as an old TR230 I had in a previous LS1) as well as louder, even through my Random Tech cats.

The car will be dynoed on Wednesday (cats will be removed & nitrous will be on the car). Can't wait to see the results.

Need to get your IAC between 30 and 40 at idle, by adjusting your TB idle screw.
That will stop the high idle when coming to a stop.

Yep, its an a4 with a Vig 3200.

Im hoping to make 400 @ the wheels, but I don't think its going to happen. Car was tuned conservatively (22*) & for nitrous on our **** 91 octane we have out here. I'll be happy w/385RWHP & up.

Need some help! I'm having a LS6 longblock install this week in my 98 Camaro. I've been searching Ls1.com and this site trying to find the right cam. I was told the TSP 224/224/,.581"/.581", 114 LSA was the biggest I could go and still pass California smog. I keep reading about the F13 cam and was wondering who makes it. Will F13 pass smog in California? I'm sorry if this question may sound stupid and already answered, but I have to make a decision by tomorrow and I'm getting desperate!

I got mine in last friday. I am having the same problems. Bucking around 1500 rpm and it dies every once in a while when i come to a stop. The tb was drilled two sizes. I have 2.73s and a 4k stall. What do you guys think?

Also the I had a mail tune from futral. And it was tuned for a 100 shot.

The guy who tuned my car, his name is Nic. Goes by Nic00Z28M6 on this board. He's pretty well-known and has tuned literally hundreds of cars & trucks. He's tuned most of the fastest/quickets LSx based cars in the state.
