I'm still looking over cam choices and what is the differance in the W,VZ,Fk series cams? I have read where the VZ cams are harder on the lifter bores (but I'm using aluminum cases) And if you use the FK series cams you must use 1.25 or 1.4 rocker,so thats more money IS it worth it?????

oh boy at the opinions on this subject :roll:

vz series are SUPPOSED to run 1.1:1 rockers
w series are SUPPOSEDLY only compatible with 1.1:1 or 1.25:1 rockers
fk series are SUPPOSEDLY to run 1.4:1 or 1.5:1 rockers

HOWEVER, ive seen 1.3:1 pauter roller rockers on a vz-15, 1.5:1 pauter roller rockers on a w-110, and ive heard of folks running 1.25:1 rockers on a fk series cam

It all depends on what you want.....it will be worth the extra $$$ IMO if you buy the fk series cam with ratio rockers......... I am running a w-110 with 1.4 rockers never missed a beat......
