F13 or G5x3 cam? I have a C5 corvette that im looking at putting a cam in. I have all the supporting mods, Dynatech Long tubes, off road x-pipe, corsa Indy exhaust, and Vortex rammer intake. I'm getting a 3200 stall put in also, and have the 2:73 gears and it's an A4. I'm looking to hit 400rwhp with the car and it's my daily driver. Out of these two cams which one will give me a car that will have good street manners, and power all over the RPM band?. let me know what you guys think of the two cams.

I think an x3 will give you more power, but you would want a bigger stall to take full advantage of it. i run a 3800 with mine. if you really want to stick with the 3200 stall, get the f13. you will be fine on those gears for a few months. I ran a X3 on a 112 in an A4 car with a factory stall and 2.73 gears. it was a bitch but I made it. now with a 3800 stall and 2.73 there are no drivability problems besides traction.

yes I do like this cam, it's in my T/A, the other cam im looking for is for my ls1 powered third gen.
I have a G5X3 and ported heads, One of my buddies has an F-13 and the same ported heads. I make more peak power but he makes more mid range power. Both cars could be daily driven if we wanted to. Well, other than him having a spool. 
Both are great cams and I think you will be happy with either one of them.
