I run the F13 in my non-DD M6 WS6, hasn't let me down a bit. Dyno numbers weren't 'out of this world', but the more important track numbers were satisfying (118.2mph, full weight M6 WS6 w/ PRC LS6 heads and bolt-ons).

Just my .02

The Z28 in my sig had the F13. Car had lid, LTs, TSP duals and TCI 3K converter. On motor it ran 7.4Xs @ 92-94 MPH and on a 150 shot it ran the time below with hardly no traction

Not sure of the f13 but the X1 is stellar, especially with stock heads. This was the cam I was gonna go with after alot of research and talking to guys on here. I ended up going the FI route but if you are going stock heads go the X1 for sure. Either way its a great cam. Ask the TEA/X1 combo guys what they can do wth it

F13 and love it. I use to drive my car 4 to 5 times a week but with either you are going to need a tune to be a daily driver and get the most out of it and you can see the performance down below. Good Luck

Not sure if you checked out TEA's website but check out this thread, it is a great one for all to read who have not.

As for the TEA/X1 combo I gave before, one example of this is Jason on the bottom of the first page.

The F13 is a great cam. I personally ran the F14 in my Z06 as a daily driver.

Not sure if you decided out of these two cams yet but here's a video with two z28's, same mods...except one has a f13 and the other has the x1. Ofcourse the f13 wins!
