You'll like that cam. With supporting mods, I put down 405 rwhp and 379 rwtq with it. (stock heads, m6)

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

Good general advice is to wait the week or two or even three what you want and not settle, in the long run a matter of weeks isn't a big deal. Hell, the last time I had work done my car spent three weeks at the shop!

I think you should stick with the F13 decision. This is a ***great*** cam. I have it on a 114 LSA +4 and the car just loves it.

I agree with everyone else, The F-13. I have it and Love it, It pulls SO hard. Drives and Idles great and after tune and gear no surge or anything. Get it and you will never look back.

Like they said, the F-13 is a fantastic cam. If it takes a week or so for the 114, ask about the 112. I'm partial to that one

same opinion here .. we`ve tried the F 13 on 112 and 114 on the setup and same car close results, but the 112 seems fun to drive ,

blkZ28spt: it has been one month and three weeks at the shop ..

I bet there is 10+:1 futral cams > HPE cams on this board. You won't be able to convince me that hpe cams are more proven than futrals. It's your car though. I don't see what's so hard about waiting a week. That isn't long at all. The reason why it will take awhile is because they can't make enough cams to keep up with demand

The HPE S cam doesn't compare to an F13, it's bigger. I forget the exact specs, but think of the HPE S cam as an MS3 on a 115

777: Did the 425/375 come from you? If so, where did you get them from?
