Default Is it worth it? MS3 for F15?

Last month if figured it was time to pull the trigger on a cam for my car. After weeks of searching on the forums and websites I found the one for me, the F15 cam from Futral Motorsports. Well . . . . after a month and no cam, I'm getting slightly pissed. The cam has been on backorder for 2 weeks and they were supposed to be sorting through them for the past week. Now for the point behind this thread, I am looking at the MS3 from TSP. I have heard nothing but good things about TSP and the cam looks impressive. Would it be a wise decision to cancel my order and get the MS3 or should I just stick it out for the F15? My main goal is basically a 400+ rwhp. Any advice and opinions are greatly appreciated. Does anybody have very much experience with either of these cams? Dyno numbers would be excellent!!

i love my MS3. as far as power and mods look at my sig. you can also hear what it would sound like since you have the same exhaust. i would go with the MS3 but ive never heard anything about the F15.

There both GREAT CAMS but I love Futals cams and there probably not going to be a difference in them on the dyno worth talking about and you cant go wrong I wouldnt think with either.

the f13 maybe better suit the the chevs ve,driveabilty should nicer too
whilst still making the power you are after.
maybe the f15 is not meant to be.

the f13 with tighter 112lc will give +7 ovelap or with 114lc give about +3 ovelap which better suits the a4.
if you go for the wider 114 lc you can pass emmisions
by so much as a 4 degree retard will give you -5 degree ovelap
which is right in the emmisions zone.
