Installed the F-13 Vids to come, but just an overview:
Drivability = great
Lope = ******* bad ***
Power = awesome from what I can tell (no track passes or races yet)
I would definatly buy it again if I had the choice. It is noticably different in drivability but I enjoy the sound and choppyness. It is a good cam for an agressive daily driver in my opinion. I wouldnt go larger for a DD but I think the F-13 is a good choice.
Cant wait to make some passes, VIDS TO COME!

Looking forward to some vids. How do you think the driveability would be in a m6? and what lsa did you get it on? How useable is the power on the street? Reason I'm asking is because I've been looking at this cam for when I get my car. Thanks and get those vids up man

By the way, mine's on a 114 also, but I don't think it lopes hard at all. There is definitely a noticeable lope to teh exhaust, but compared to other "choppier" cams, the F13 sounds pretty tame IMO.

I have a vid of my F13 on a 112 if anyone is interested.

I had been worried about how useable the powerband was if you had to spin it near 6k rpms to get decent power. That is because most people go for a 224ish cam for street use. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the info. though.

The F13 has excellent midrange as well as top end, but I believe it gives up a little to the TR224 in the lower and midrange rpm's (it makes up for it on the top end). This is according to a dyno graph I saw of a comparison between 3 cams on a car (its old, but if you search you may find it).
