So the specs changed?

I guess I just learned something new.

I believe the "old FK8" was the same as the Berg GB310 cam:  304 degrees (advertised), 0.380" lift at cam.

This is correct, but I believe I made a mistake, the original one is a K-8, the newer virsion is the FK-8 that has been around for a few years now. I have FK-8 cam. I was corrected on the other forum.  Roll Eyes  Grin The older version has a 304* duration (advertised).

I called Chris at Engle today and he said that it's always was the same grind. But I remember way back when, seeing the add's for the K-8 @ 304* Dur. Need to dig up my old HotVW's to see the adds. He did say what matters is what it is @ .050, which I do understand, but why 304* then, now 298*? That is a big difference. Jim, maybe you have some info on this?
