After 25K i would pull a spring or two and measure its seat pressure at 1.800". If its still within spec, go another 5K and measure again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The F13 drives great!

No problems @ 1500 in 6th at all and low end is better than most expect.

This might be a redundant question (I haven't been browsing here for a while), but how is this comparing to the G5X3? What are you guys running for intakes - LS6 for FAST 90?

I have the FM13 on FM Stage II heads and I put down 440RWHP with it with ALL supporting mods. The cam is incredible, the sound it makes when it winds up through my LTs and Borla is phenomenal, and the car pulls sooooooo dammn hard. Driveability is very similar to my friends stock LS1 below 3K, i was amazed after the tune at just how docile the car is when you keep your foot out of it.

FM13, you CANNOT go wrong with this cam!

I can lug it around at 1000rpm. It is all in the tuning, I'm no pro but I think I've done a damn good job just learning how to tune this year. I should have some dyno numbers in the next month.

Good numbers, and right where I hope to be after the cam swap. The PP LS6 heads and new intake and TB down the road should push it right to my goal for N/A

Yeah, I'm probably going to take it to Central FBody in Baltimore for tuning. I have a predator, but it doesn't give you access to the cells in the tables. You have to ride around and wait for the LTFT to stabalize, and then try WOT to see if you a positive or negative change, then contact DiabloSport for a custom tune to download. All you can really do is bump PE up and down a little it looks like. I was going to get the PC hook up so that I can log some numbers (my buddies riding around with me holding the Predator and writing down numbers sounds like a non-optimal tuning exercise

with the P&P LS6 heads I would think you shuld see alteast 15HP more.

Good luck, As others have said, it does not seem near as big as it is. People have a hard time beleiving it's a 23x Cam on a 112. Great job by FMS on this cam!!!
