I don't want to do those few things, get it tuned, and not make the number I am looking for. Back when I got the first cam installed I wanted to go with an f13 or f14, but I went with the smaller gomer grind.
He has me a 226/228 waiting to go in. I wish I could go bigger but I dont have a DD anymore so the Z is mine as of now. He hit over 400 with this cam. Im not gettting my hopes up though.

For the money he's got in that diesel, he could have an f-body with 1000 hp.
+1 but how well would he fit?

true that...is there a !driver's weight mod?

He'd rather have something slow and bitch than have something fast and admit he's wrong.

F13 was the exact cam I was leaning towards when I decided to get this white SS. There was a red SS with center mount at the f-body gathering in atlanta that had it and it had a very commanding presense whenever it rolled through.

Im debating on whether to go with Gomers first choice in the 226/228 cam or ask him if he has something a little bigger for my DD. Jarred seems to be trying to outdo me ... Like he wants the #1 White SS

Don't make the mistake of wishing you would have went bigger

I have not idea on this one. The car is a 6 speed now and last time I dynoed a F13 was when the car was an auto, 3500 stall, LT's, LS6 intake, 3.73's. Put down 367hp.

As for bigger, I can tell you bigger ISNT always better. Some of the small comp cams are making the power the larger cams are with a lot better drivability. Ive been through my share of Futural, Texas Speed, Lunati and Comp cams and The F13 is by far the best one Ive had. Decent Idle, great power, and perfect drivability. And I find it pretty easy to tune

The Torquer cam Gibson has is almost the exact same sepcs as the F13 and he made 388 or something like that with 24-25* of timing and no cut out. Once I get some of the things straightend out on my car Ill go dyno it. But here lately it doesnt feel like its ever going to end. Ive swapped, hoods, motors, transmissions, exhausts, wiring and other things Im sure im forgetting.
