Great daily driver cam. Lope is a bit harder than I thought it would be when I bought it, especially with my cutout open. I'd recommend the cam to anyone. The powerband for me peaks at 6500, and I shift around 6700, if that's important to you.

What advance are you running? I have a bigger cam with only +2 and it still only peaks at 6300...

As far as the f-13, i liked mine very much when I ran it, although i did have a tough time eliminating all my bucking. Its a great mid range / large cam to start out with.

Did you get rid of the bucking, and if so, how? Thanks.

I have been runing my F13 now for over a year and love it. I had a F11 in it before and it was awsome as well. As for the bucking it is going to happen a little at low speed with any cam. In a A4 I have been able to totally eliminate it but in a M6 sometimes it isn't possible with a good clutch. I have found just to alter your driving style a little and it will be great. Mine is 112+2 and I shift about 6600-6700.

I changed to a new cam, then I added flowmatched injectors, then I got a wideband o2 sensor. Now Ive got most of the bucking eliminated. Ill still working on the tune, but a lot of it has to do with fattening up the idle and off idle, and then leaning back out after that.

Right now, ive got the first two cells in my R/L switch points at .600 then it goes to .450 for the rest of the middle cells until it richens back up like the stock settings do. Im also back to using the MAF. When I finally get it dialed in perfectly ill post my tables as an example.

I'm pretty sure it's their normal 112 + 4 grind.

I would love to see those tables. I hate the bucking that I am getting between 1600-1900 RPM's.

I get the same bucking between 1600-1900 but as said before, I just change my driving habits a little. I would also recommend the fm13 to anyone. The lope this cam has with an slp loudmouth gets attention fron everyone anywhere you go, plus the fact I can break the tires loose anytime helps too
