I've got one in my 2276 , dont use it every day but about 3000 mile a year
Yes, very good cam the power starts about to come on properly at about 3000 to 6000 rpm when the power starts droping off. good around town and when you pt your foot down
I set my shift light for about 5850 on the street
ps running 48idas with Brothers machine 42/37 heads, scat 1:4/1 rockers, H beam 5.4 rods and 82mm crank and the car is full weight with bumpers etc

I use to run a K8 in my 2303cc when I use to work at Bergs, 50 miles a day, 5 days a week, with occasional burn out after work, :-) with no proiblems, Ran a 83mm Demilio crank, 44/37 Performance Tech. heads, Eagle rods, K-8 with Berg 1.45 rockers, full MSD ignition, and IDA's. Full weight 69' bug also with bumpers. Ran strong!!

K8 makes for a great "commuter cam" for a big cc motor. Like rocket ron said it runs hard up off idle to 6000.
I ran one in my 2276 for a good number of years and I drove it in long commute about 4 days a week. I didn't like the brick wall at top end though and eventually went to FK10 next,
