Default fm13 or fm11

which of these cam specs will be better suited for a daily driver in an auto. the stall i will be looking at is a 3200 stall. which pulls harder than the other throughout the rpm range..thanks

The F-13 is a tried and true performer. I'd go with a bigger stall than that on a stock motor, though.

I've seen very stout F11 setups that rival F13 #'s. It's relative to your overall setup.
You're fine with either one.

I went with the F13 and a TCI 3000 stall. I talked to Allen and asked him if the converter was too low for the cam and he said NO it will work great. Just my .02

thanks..i want to run a vig. 3200 and from what i hear its really a 3600 or something like that. i just want a nice cam thats a lil rought than a 224 cam. im seeing good things from the f11/13 cam too. im looking into maybe some afr with it at the same time. i wonder which will make more usable hp for the streets than track.

Check out some of the graphs in dyno section. Quite a few in there with these cams. Those F11s seem to have a really nice torque spread.

The F11 makes a really nice broad powerband, I'd say the F13 is a little more peaky though.
