yeah go past the 120 with that combo (especially if your going ratio rockers)..........K8 is very usable on the street, still completely drivable "under" the cam.............

I have the 120 with 1.25's in ,my 2L. With wedge ports and 48's. It revs!!!, max power at the moment is redline of 7200rpm..... refer the dyno section for my specs and dyno curve.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

Sounds like a nice combo however a lot of people under cam their engines to retain "drivebility".

Most 2L+ engines with good flowing heads and exhaust, healthy compression and dual carbs do not suffer from large cam effects as much as

WTF is going on with d forum, cut most of my reply &^%$# (*&&#@$.
2054cc k8/k10, 1:1.4 should be a blast, make it 2165cc fk87, 5.5 h beams, 9:1, a nice box with 1.04 4th and hold on. keep us posted.

i ran a c45 in a 2180 yrs ago, had trouble with overheating, not sure why this happened, but it didnt when i put in a fk87 with no other mods.
