Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? I have a F1 sitting in my room waiting to be installed and I am wondering if I made the right choice for my daily driver with stock heads. Anyone else have this cam with stock heads, auto, and daily driven?

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? I know of a couple up in DFW. Not personally though. You'll need a tune but you'll be happy with it. Call Mike @ Lanes Performance and Tires in Irving and talk to him. He runs it with stock heads, auto, and a PT4000. Runs hella times to.

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? I have MTI Stg 2 Heads and the X1 cam in my Daily Driven Auto. I have the 114LS cam with 4degrees ground into the cam. Honestly the cam sounds like a 220 type cam it idles so smooth. Granted it's been Tuned by Jayson at MTI and I've done some tweeking to the Throttle body hole but the car just sits there and purrrrs like a kitten @ idle. It truly doesn't sound very rowdy at all. Now all that is null and void when you Mat the pedal cause at 3500 it's like you turned the afterburners on...that cam just kicks in. I honestly think you'll be choking a lot of power off w/stock heads and there might be a better cam for stock heads that will produce the same power.
Good luck...I know you'll be happy w/either one.

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? yeah, i was starting to think it was just overkill on my stock heads but i want a mean sounding cam that is going to maximize hp but not have surging and dieing problems. I am having it tuned at mti as well.
Oh ya, and mine is on a 112.

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? 230/226 .591/.569 112 are the f1 specs. If i decide to swap it out for a smaller one i will definately let you know, the g2 cam looks pretty decent but i will probably stick with the f1, but I change my mind every day so who knows.

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? I had a F1 in my auto with a 3500 stall and made 388 RWHP and 420 RWTQ with stock heads. Mods were ls6 intake, LT's, tuning, and a UD pulley HTH

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? Check Sig, I have X1 cam and love it. You need tuning with A4. Once you have her lined out just get ready! Don`t be afraid!

Re: Anyone have a F1/X1 cam in an Auto? I have an F1 with an auto, I do have ported heads though. It has a 4400 stall, stock LS1 intake, full headers, true duals...blah, blah.
It's not bad driving it daily, little difficult when cold, but nothing too bad.
The car is a 99TA, on slicks/skinnys the car has run a best of 95mph in the 1/8th and a 7.4 The other night I ran it, but had to sand bag due to the car I was running, but it coasted to a 7.5@80<img src="images/smilies/LS1Te..."inlineimg" /> I'm throwing on an LS6 intake and some new slicks on this week, so it might just run some 7.1's..ungutted!
After I first got the cam, I thought it sucked. After I did some tuning on the street, it has started making some decent power.
