Anyone use FP 1x cams?

[streetdsmpwr]

I've been trying to figure out what cams I should get for my setup and all my research led me to the FP 1x. I have a 16G setup and it is my daily driver, so I was really considering a 264 style camshaft, but I also like taking my car to the strip and a 272 style cam would help me more there. I considered a 264/272 combo for something in between. Then I came across the FP 1x cams which seem like a good compromise between the two. The only thing keeping me from buying them is that I have not heard anything about them. I have found one tread about them on this site and the person did not have good results. Does anyone have any info on them, results from using them, dyno sheets, or just your opinions on them? Any input is much appreciated.

go fp2's they are like 272's but wont add a tremendous amount of lope while still giving good characteristics

I probably will go with FP 2's unless someone can tell me something good about the FP 1x's. They seem like they could potentially be a perfect fit for my setup.

They are like HKS 264 but with a lot more lift to them. They increase power everywhere, mainly midrange. May increase knock in the midrange. They require upgrade springs tho

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Well I understand that much, but I want to hear from someone who actually uses them.

PM Daren P, he uses them.

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Yeah, he is the only one on here that has a thread about them other than me and it doesn't look like he got very good results.

 

[mysticj]

What? The knock issue in the midrange?

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Yeah.

Adjust cam timing or reduce igntion timing in the midrange
