fp2 dont lope?

[MrdB]

well, i have a set of fp2 cams in my car.. havent checked timing yet... but.. does any1 else have these cams? and do they lope? i figgered they would?

That sounds consistent with the guys with fp2 cams. From my research, the fp2 cam offers the powergain potential as the 272/272, but don't have the lope that the HKS' do.

Mine don't lope like HKS', but it is a bit noticeable. My uncle picked up on it right away without me telling him, anyways.

aahhh.. i didnt know, figured i had something set up wrong

 

[MrdB]

what is your base timing set up? 5? at a idle my a/f is right at 13.7 dont know if that is about right or not

 

[blcknspo0ln]

I dont have cams, but my afr at idle is always 15.5+:1

My FP2x's don't really lope at 750 Idle but you can tell there not stock cams.

A/F at Idle should bounce back and forth between 14.3-15.3 ish.

I have FP1 intake and FP2 exhaust. They don't lope whatsoever. Then again, my idle is like 900-1000rpm.

Just installed mine, alot more deep, and at 700-800 rpm, there's a small indication they aren't stock, but it's a pretty solid droning sound.

I hear everyone say FP2's sound almost stock unless they are right next to a stock cammed car.
FP2 is a baddass cam and are also known to not lope, that is a good thing.

Stock ignition timing, stock coilpack, built 2bolt, stock 1g head, fp2 cams.

fp2x have a small amount of lope with full exhaust on the car..

 

[eboy0]

Mine have begun to lope a little now that I have no cat and a 50 trim turbo, with idle at around 650-700... sound pretty cool.

how about the FP2x's? Can you hear the lope in those?

No. You want lope run it lean at idle.

You can get it to lope by increasing overlap. This will help spool and midrange but take away top end.

My FP2Xs don't sound stock next to a stock car. Open exhaust really lets you hear the difference. It "thumps" harder (at idle) because of the aggresive ramp rates and it idles just fine because of the tight overlap. Unless someone's been around dsms all their life, noone can really tell.

What about BC 272's? Anyone have any experience with those? Just asking cause I'm currently getting a motor built with BC 272's in it. Thanks. Tom.

Here's a huge thread on the BC cams. They idle very aggressively and there are a few videos of them.
