Default Tsp Torquer V.2 / Fm-13 / Fm-14

I'm just wondering why everybody compare's the torquer 2 to the fm-13 and not the fm 14???
is there something i don't know?

the specs of the torquer match the fm-14 better then the fm-13

Torquer V.2 - 232/234 595/598 -112

FM-14 - 232/234 598/598 - 112

FM-13 - 230/232 598/585 - 112

i'm not trying to down talk any of the cams, i'm trying to learn.

the F13 is generally a more popular cam, and its well known for its great drivability and great power. i can't speak for the Torquer, but the F13's cam profile changes a good bit from .050. Also - the F13 makes just about as much power as the F14(sometimes more) and behaves better.

can't just look @ .050, also have to take into account lobe profiles and the rest of the cam profile.

what he said, the f13 cam is capable of making upper 400's hp at the wheels with the right bolt ons, heads and compression. i am going to try to get in the 470 range within the year hopefully with this cam and the stock 346

F13 = loads of torque. Drives like stock once you get the part throttle timing correct...

Up top it pulls like a monster.

I have the F13 on a 112+0 and it doesn't feel like it lost anything down low, but it does pull like a bitch all the way up there. I don't have it fully tuned(motor break-in) - but the drivability isn't bad at all except in parking lots, and thats easy to drive around. When I get the full tune in I highly doubt I'll even have that issue - and even more power.
