Default Any new results from Futral?

Whatever happened to Futral? They used to be such a huge company when I got my car and I haven't seen any results from any of their cams in a LONG time. I checked their site recently and they have some High Lift versions of their cams out now. Wondering if anybody has tried them out and whatnot.

I'm sure they're like MTI where they have so much local business, they simply don't have time to post here.

They used to post all the damn time, though. And since the whole "bad batch of cams" incident, I haven't seen any new results or heard anything else from them. I really like the specs of the new F13 High Lift but I'd like to see some results first.

I have a F11-112. Great cam for a driver, I'm happy with it....has a nice powerband and is very streetable.

Futral does have one problem, there customer service sucks.
They never answer the phone or return calls.

I know Allan has been busy over there. I have been wanting to pay him a visit, but it seems I am just as busy these days. There were results from the f14 high lift. That new cam made 10 more rwhp and rwtq over the stock f14.

Futral cams are great. They don't have to post up. They're proven. Just buy one and you'll see.

I'm not asking about the original cams, I'm asking about the new High Lift cams. They are not proven because nobody has posted a single dyno/track time yet. That's why I made this thread.

Oh. It asked if there's any new results from Futral. Not results from new Futral products. That looked like a side note at the end from the way you worded it. My bad.
I guess my point is that Futral stuff performs, and they wouldn't carry it if it didn't. They're not like the other post-hoe sponsors on here that put out stuff that sounds cool but is subpar.

Well since there's years and years and years of results from Futral, I wouldn't be talking about new results from those same cams. That's why I asked about those High Lift variations. And yes, I know Futral performs, they always have. But I'm not the type of person to buy a cam "just because". I'd like to see some numbers, where it makes peak power, and tracks times as well...if they are out there. I'm sure a lot of other people would, too.

Here are a few results from a couple of highlift F14's. One of the first test we did with a highlift f14 was on a 2001 z06. The only thing we changed was the cam and it put down 434.8rwhp/416.94rwtq, with all the boltons just as he drives it everyday. We also put a highlift f14 in a local customers 98 a4 corvette. With all the bolt ons and a set of Dart 225cc cylinder heads it put down 434.27/416.38 on motor and 536.7/500.2 on a 100 shot. I attached the graphs below

Search was down and I couldn't find this thread until today. Thanks for the graphs, bro. Killer numbers. Can't wait to see some F13 HL results. Keep us up-to-date!
