I think im leaning toward the F13, but great feedback so far. will the F13 give torque also and the 400rwhp that im looking for?

You wont even tell the difference. I've had several cams in my car and I've changed plenty for others. Everyone gets tied up in splitting durations and lifts. I could BARELY tell the difference between a 228 or a 236 cam as far as drivability goes. Power wise you're splitting hairs too.

If comparing two cams of different durations (228 vs 232) and ramp rates if you keep them on the same 112 or 114, they will sound the same and make similar power, until a power adder compounds the minute differences.

Both cams will get you 400 rwhp, buy the one that's cheapest for you.

The F14 is more comparable to the X3.

Both are great cams and I think you will be happy with either one of them.

g5x3 gets my vote but both are great cams.
