i dont know the f-cam specs real well.. but my guess is between 270 and 280 rwhp.. there are better cams out there for you then an alphabet cam. JMO though.

280rwhp is low. I'd say more like 305 - 315.

seems kinda optamistic to me but hey, you never know... i think the limiting factor in his set up is that f-cam... but i might be wrong. i have been before.
