I would think a w120 or w125 with 1.1 or an FK-8 with 1.4s would be a nice cam with that setup.

What's the differences between a w125 and a Fk8? More power, less agreement, less reliable or so?

what i heard the powerband of a W125 is higher as a fk8. the k8 is also lighter on the lifters as it uses 1.4 rockers. i have opted for the fk8 myself since it seems to be the better choice between both of them concerning longlivety.
