FMS f14- 232"/234" .598"/.598" 114LSA or 112

without a doubt...these two cams really shouldn't even be compared...you would make prolly 20+rwhp more peak...and under the curve omg you can forget about the tsp cam...the f-14 is light years ahead of the tsp231...and i even have the tsp...i was thinking about switching it out for that exact cam but i think i'm going to save for a 408ci

No question I would go with f14 or any Futral cam.
I am still amazed at how well my f13 drives, even before I started tuning it. Now that I am just about done with tuning, below 3000 just driving around town you wouldn't even know it's there. But when I step on it.

its really imo b/t the 233/239 and f14.. would be a closer hp and tq #'s match... the f14 is a 232/234 and can pump out the same #'s as the slightly bigger cam u mentioned.. nothing wrong with tsp, but go see how many ppl have hit 390rwhp with the f13, search dyno section if u want, then figure the f14 is just a step bigger then the that.

20hp over the 231/237...... That I could get used to..
If I switched to the F14 112+2 would I have to get a re-tune or do you think I could get by on the 231/237 tune?
Did a search on the cam and I seen they rans a special last month on that cam and a tune....dang wish I would have got in on that. May have a 231/237 cam for sale real soon..

You have to remember that the 231/237 was first designed well over 2 years ago, Lunati ground those cams for us. The cam was made around available valvespring safety margins for that time period (we still had cars that seen valvefloat with certain springs back then). Now that we have access to much better valvesprings (PRC, Comp) we run more agressive camshafts.
We don't even push the 231/237 anymore although there are customers that still want something similiarly sized, a more equal comparison with todays camshafts would be the TQ2 (232/234 .598"/.598") or the 235/240 .603"/.609" <--(one of my fav grinds) which are both very similiar to Comp XER lobes that are so popular.
I may have to get some things going to have a '05 version of the 231/237.

From what i have heard this F14 sounds awesome. I cant wait to get it, and put it on my car and see what ill be making then. Will i need to change the rods out? Or will the ones im running with my comp cam now be ok? and my 918s are pretty good less than 5k on them.
