If it were me... the Fcam vs the Comp cam... the power will be more on the F cam . The idle quality will be better with the comp... Idle quality?? If you install the F cam in using the 4* advance mark on the t-chain assy.. the F will beat the Comp hands down in all aspect!! and cost a 100.00 less!! Just a thought, yes??

Just me.........................
