I have an A4 with pretty much all the bolt ons and will be changing the stall to at least 4000 from the 3500 unless you suggest otherwise. I currently have a TR224 and desire more power. I would also appreciate if you could give me an idea of the performance increase. It is a weekend warrior that gets raced a good bit at the track.
F13 on a 112 or F14 on a 114 without checking clearance. Either cam will do better with a converter 4000-4400 and 3.73-4.10 gears. You should see a 20-25 HP increase min.

Have you talked to me before? Cam Motion does our grinding. What did they tell you?

On the same LSA the F14 will peak about 150 RPM more. Power bands look almost identical. The F14 is about 10 TQ down at 2500 and about 5 up past 6200. Driveability is the same to me.

What Manley part# springs do you have and what size slicks?
Whats the lift on the F14? What kind of power is this cam putting out with stock heads/stock bottom end naturally aspirated? What about times? Not sure what part number of springs they are, but theyre the ones that are rated at .600" lift.

The lift on the F14 is .598/.598. One of our employees is running this cam in an auto with stock 3.23 gears, he dyno'd 422 rwhp locked, went a 11.30 @ 120.xx Wednesday night. He drove it to and from the track, very driveable cam. Now he is going to step up the gears and lower that time.

I haven't been able to get ahold of you. I left a message, and then left some info. with someone last week (Candy?). If I for some reason can't take your call, please leave a message as I get a lot of untraceable/'UNKNOWN' calls. I have no way of knowing you called w/o at least a breif message. You have my number (Nathaniel Lang). Thanks!

Damn those are nasty times for cam only. I have had your F13 for a few months now and I love it. I have no regrets on teh cam. My only issues is that I wanted to learn the tunning myself since im ALWAYS changing stuff but I cant seem to get my car tuned.

I would have you al do a mail order tune but I alread spent a ton of money on LS1 Edit and EFILive.

THe best Ive gone so far is (with a tune that is WAY off) 12.4 @ 118.6 w/ 1.90 60' (Im on NIttos w/ a 10 bolt so Im not trying to launce to hard).

I am expecting 11.99 or better once I get the tune straight but I dont see that happening anytime soon.

Candy, will you all be willign to take a look at my edit file for a small fee? I a stuck and there is just too much contradicting info on these sites for tuning. Its taking me forever.


Oh and for those of you wondering about driability, you can make the F13 drive almost like stock but with a littel more throat to it. I hd mine running sweet before I jacked my tune all up again.

Oh well.


keep up the great grinds FMS!!!!!

candy are you saying this motor is unopened except for the cam,and that it's now putting out how much over stock ?
Or is this a bolt on car with head work etc now making how much more than the old cam did.

You can do a 112 in that M6. I am running the F13 on a 112 +4. I still cant say enough about this cam. Do you plan to install yourself?

Thanks for the help Candy!! Glad we got it all squared away... I forgot to ask you about the difference in price between a MailOrder Tune and a DynoTune. I'd love to try and make the trip up there. I'll try and call you back and see if we can set something up. Once again thanks!
