all depends on how you wnat the car to be off the bottle since u cant go around sprayin it all the time.
F13 would be a good choice IMHO for N/A power and work well w/ the juice
t-rex is a big ol nasty ****! dunno how it'd be w/ gas
several TSP cams to choose from for good n/a and spray power.
Id do the f13 though if i were you.

The F13 is a good choice for a car that does some daily driver duty as well...

Those are three totally different cams. The hotcam doesn't make very good power compared to anything else out there, but sounds great and can be used with LS6 springs with no worries on replacement. The FM13 is more mid-range and offers great low-mid range for it's size, but is relatively hard on springs. The T-rex is a monster. It's practically the largest cam you can fit on stock heads and wants to rev rev rev.

You need to do more research if those are the three possibilities you listed. And please for the love of god if you want help picking a cam you need to first read JRP's cam guide. And if you ask the board, give lots of accurate info about you, the car, what you want, what you can tolerate, and what the intended usage will be.

The 235/240 and 231/237 cam packages are on special for the month of april...
