Might want to give the new 720/720 .500/.500 cam. It makes up for the lift with all that duration

I just drove my car today for the first time after the installs without the final tune and I already love it.

Setup?

F13 114 LSA +4

TEA 5.3 stage 1.5 heads

ASP UD Pulley

QTP headers

QTP catted y-pipe

Volant Intake

Shaner S3 TB

GMMG catback

And it just sounds I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E

Oh, and did I mention it pulls like a raped ape?. Yeah.

Nah, that's what I told you in my first post, as well as the 2 pms we had Get the PRC dual spring kit as well with it. It's $260 (Texas Speed) It's one of the best spring kit's out there IMO and it's what I have on my car. Get a tune (must have), either a dyno tune or a mail-in from Allan @ Futral then you will be good to go. Dyno tune would be better but costs twice as much. If you are really on a budget get the mail-in from Allan it's pretty dead on from what I hear. You will also need the gasket kit sold Here for $55

Very nice setup and not overly expensive.

My car is a F11 112+4 and TEA Stg 2 5.3s. Kooks 1 3/4 no cats 3" X and 2.5" after the X 436rwhp/415 rwtq. If you want to calm down the lope put it on 114.

If you still haven't decided... give Eastside a call. Cam that they put in my car could easily be daily driven, and makes really good power, and the bottom end around 2K is as good as stock, and only gets better from there on up. I think they even have a couple in stock.

Cam choice is your decision. Nobody on this board is going to drive the car but you. If you don't like your first choice, you can always swap for different cam.

Dude the F-13 isn't a custom cam. It's an off the shelf cam. Get that.

Tommy,

Our F13 is our best overall cam for power\idle and drivability. A custom won'y help you any for the mods you have.What RPM range are you looking for?

Thanks,Allan

thats what he said... so you still say the F-13?

Yes, we still say the F-13. Sounds like what Allan recommends as well.

Allan was just telling you that there is no need to get a custom cam (something grinded totally for your individual needs) However, he did say the f-13 was the best general cam they offer for power/driveability. He wasn't referring to the f-13 as being a custom cam.
