FK87 Experiences ?
I am going to be running one in the 2442 Im building. I was planning on running 10.5:1 compression.
Just interested to hear of any combos anyone has run and their take on this cam ? Ive read that it likes compression, but how much ? trying to keep it
semi streetable.
Combo is 88 x 94, 044 wedgeports 46 x 37, IDAs and 1 3/4 exhaust. FK87.

Love it.
Depending on a few factors it comes on at around 4000.(like a two stroke bike)
Prob advance it a little and hope your highway RPM does not coincide with where it "comes on"
It will work well with that comp.
Rod Richardson has that in his engine with 1.4's.

Got one in my 2332, 44x38, 1.4's [.585"], 48's, 9.5 : 1. Smooth as all the way from idle to redline.
Sorry Dave, but comes on a bit earlier in my combo, about 3300.
Love it !!

Rocker ratio, port size and venturi size can be factors.
Smaller 'amounts' will move the start point earlier but will limit outright power.

Im running a fk89 in a 2007 with 1.4s with 10.5.1
heads are 42x37.5 power comes on at 4400 all the to 8200 but i think with these sort of cams ()high lift) you have to get your gearbox ratios right

why such a small cam.lol
i haven't run that cam but it sound's like a good combo.
playing around with cam timing and carby's will get it doing what ever you want it to.
everyone's idea of streetable is different.
my combo is loverly on the street,but it's proberly no good for the next guy.
down sharon.

from the berg catalouge...........
"For large cc engines with GB 870 or larger heads, 48 IDA's and 1-5/8" or larger exhaust. Can be for an extra hot street car that has close ratio
gears or one of our 5 speeds. Not quite an all out race cam. Used in some mini stock or road racecars. 320 duration, 0.390" lift at cam."

What lifters are you guys using for your type 1 engines thats compatible with the engle, cams, everytime i buy one i have to source my own lifters,
with the type 4 cams i get matched lifters included with the cam.

A few questions first
What type of driving...full race, partial race, hot street, mild street??
What octane of fuel is available there?
What type of maintenance schedule are you up to?
What expected hp are you after?
How many miles are you expectingting it to last?
What fuel economy are you expecting?
What car, gear ratios and cooling system?

I've had my 2332 Matt Berry engine in the car for about 5weeks now,fk87,9.8-1,48,s man i absolutely love it!It idles at 800rpm and drives slow so
good,it's like the best tuned stocker you've ever driven with 141hp@w!Merges like a motorbike runs real cool on 98 octane had 9 runs at the drags
all in the 13's.It's nice and quiet at idle but since "COL LOOK" is all about speed it's stripped out and it's pretty loud inside at
100/3400rpm.So far i'm over the moon with my new engine and box in fact if anybody is intrested in a ride if i make it to warrick come and see me.
