F11 vs. F14?
F11 vs. F14? I know this subject has been beat to death but i really am torn between the two. I want to know everyones opinion and experience. What do you think my dyno numbers would be with the 2 different cams. My mods:
99 Z28 A4
LT Headers
ORY
Custom exhaust
TCI3500
Ported TB
TSP lid
I know that the F14 will produce more power at higher rpm but that doesnt mean that it is the better cam to go with. I also know that dyno numbers dont mean much but a good tuning tool. And the cam would be on a 112+4. Well let me know your thoughts.

I know the F13 is a great cam but thats not my question. Ok if you want to include the F13 well how much of a difference will the F13 and F14 be? I mean i know there will be a difference some where in the rpm range but where and how much roughly? I hear a lot of talk about the F13 and i know it is a good well rounded cam. I will be happy with 370ish 380ish with my A4 locked. Do you think i will achieve this with either of the two cams?(f13, f14) Basically what i am looking for is a dyno graph of the two cams.

Well thanks for your help guys. I used the search feature and found a little more info on the two cams i think i am just going to stick with the F14 i dont think i can go wrong with any of the FMS cams.

What up Dan? If I were doing it again, I'd get the F14. You'll be happy with either one. I really think you need to get an LS6 intake first or you'll be a little disapointed. The LS1 intake is pretty restrictive.

Im sure the HP difference between the f13 and f14 is in the single digits. The f-14 will lope a little harder, and you will have to spin it a little higher to make your power. Low end will be down just a little but not much. I love my f-13 but sometimes i wish i went a little bigger. Sounds very tame to me now. Id go bigger but I dont want to spin my motor any faster than now.

Hey GuitsBoy - I do a lot of highway driving. Can you crusie along nicely at 70 with your f-13? Does 6th gear still pull normal? Thanks!

I did spend most of the time being very delicate with the gas pedal and shifted at very low rpms.

Im really happy with this cam. Last night I just drove home from upstate, 260 miles between at 75 MPH, with two short WOT blasts to pass cars, and 45 minutes of bumper to bumper NYC traffic - all on 9.5 gallons. Thats about 27.3 MPG with mods in sig.

Wow, that sounds great! I was thinking about 4.10s as well at one point. Yeah, I do have the same problem fm11 vs. fm13 - haha, nice problem to have right? I drive about 100mi a day to and from work so highway performance is definitely important!
I've got the F14 in an a4 and hit 392rwhp. I don't see you having any problem hitting your goal with the F13 or the F14. I don't know much about the F11 but your goal of 370-380 is very reasonable so you could probley be there with that one too. If you want to really notice you have a cam get the F14 because its nice and choppy but you can still get away with driving it daily.
