F14 here with Dart 205 heads, cam, tune, underdrive pulley, headers, aircleaner and a ported TB I made 452 rwhp and 423 rwtq. If you do a search for the Dart 205 post I made you can see the dyno graph. I still have room to improve with a Fast 90/90 setup and some bigger injectors.

I have been much more impressed with f14 numbers than i have tqr2 numbers. Seems to me the f14 gives you the curve you are looking for. Search under Brandon Boomhauer he is a mod here and has a cam only f14 graph somewhere.

They are almost identical cams except for lobe intensity.
XE-R is a tad more agressive.
Please keep in mind that if you are comparing the 2 (TV2 and FM14), you need to do so with same VE's, ie: same LSA and ICL

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Like pred said, the XER lobes snap teh valves open and shut more quickly, whcih in theory could mean you have less seat overlap, and slightly steadier drivability, but in reality, the difference is negligable. The easier cammotion lobes may also be easier on your springs, but honestly spring life will be influenced much more by how you treat them.

Wow, just heard of that one, looked on there site and it has it now. Sounds interesting.

I have the F14 cam only. Does very well for me. Granted I have 4.10 gears to help out. But, it has plenty of power under the curve. Just do a search, there has been plenty of people that have run that cam and many are still running that cam. You wont be dissapointed either way you go. Just remember, plan all your parts accordinly to work with each other. Thats the key.

Well, I'm pretty much already set on the F14. I already have everything planned out and have done a ton of searching, just was wondering if I should get the high lift one over the regular one. I mean, they had to make a high lift one for some reason right?

The high lift was tested on a 01 Z06 with the exact same mods I had. I made 423 rwhp 408 rwtq with the regular F14. The high lift version made 434 rwhp 416 rwtq.
