Well I just got the F13 in the car tonight and It sounds awsome. But I have a bad plug that I will change tomorrow. The specs on the cam are 230/232 .595/.585 on a 112. I will be getting the car tuned weds. So I will put up the vid on how she does.

what kind of a deal did you get, pm please? I am looking at the same cam for my LS2 GTO. I am looking forward to seeing the results.

Im thinking about getting the ms3 but the only thing is i live in california and still need to pass smog. What i will do is take my long tubes off and get smoged that way but with a good tune will it pass? I kinda want something other than 224/224. Sorry i hope i did not steal your thread.

Futral cams make lots of average power through the rpm range. mine pulls from off idle all the way to red line.

I love my F13 couldnt be happier with it. The power band is awsome, and the cam itself doesnt make my car so damn loud, like my buddies with the G5X3. But you can deffinately hear mine!

F13. I ran my friends MS3 car and pulled him off the hit by a bit. He started pulling back by 120 but he still wasnt but to my nose at 140. He made 410 to the tires and me right over 390.

MS3 sounds better, IMO, but im not really a fan of revving a stock bottom end to 7k... Were having to pull a motor on a 99 SS that had that cam, he revved it to 7k one too many times..... Happens to be the same car i raced....

Go big, bigger is better.

yea dats true.. back where i lived there was a guy that would make it pass for 250 bucks... but the thing is...freakin cali is starting to crack down on modified cars... and its kinda hard to hide such a mean cam.... the tr224 with like a 114 lsa shouldnt be to bad... i had a friend that got away with this excuse... " o its just doing that cuz i got a really bad misfire" lol.... and it worked... but some people like myself are not to lucky.... also wit a big cam LT's are in order.. and those are another big no...no that cops look for.... it can be done..but if caught.. it can get really expensive...

I have had both cams and I can honestly say I like the MS3 a hell of a lot better. It sounds great and makes awesome power. Oh yeah it loves nitrous as well
