The JG54 'Green Hearts'* are a club for hardcore Cal-Look Volkswagens. Cars in the club must run quicker than 15.99 seconds in the 1/4 mile. The original JG54 '* Grünherz' were the elite Messerschmitt squadrons in World War II. Some of the highest scoring flying aces were in the JG54.

Lofty bought Shane Noone's JMR built 2276 with only 800 miles on it , for an excellent price . We are swapping the cam from an FK89 , down to a Web-Cam 86c , as Lofty will be running a 1.04 4th gear in his Rancho Pro-Comp gearbox .

What wrong with a FK89 and a 1.04 gear.
Nothing wrong with it , but it's on a 3.88 R&P and for the mostly street driving that Lofty will do , I think he would be better off with an 86c , both Neal Anderson ( 2276 ) and Big Pete ( 2332 ) , run 86c's , with great results on the street and track ( both running low 13's )
If you keep the FK89 with the 1.04 it will run a 12sec 1/4.
Unless you guys can get Udo's, I'd go with CB's newer 2 pc lifters. We've yet to see a set fail. I'm now running the CB 2295, it's the most streetable cam I've run yet. In order, I have run in my 67; Engle 110, 120, FK8, FK10, 86C, CB 2289 and CB 2295..whoa! All but the 2295 and the 110 destroyed the lifters and cams. Lanny.
I don't know how it will run a 12 , Big Pete's 66 , ran an FK87 at one stage , and it tailed off more in 4th than it did with the 86C . It didn't feel quicker on the street either .
I am using the CB 2 piece lifters , fingers crossed . I am glad to hear you are having success with them Lanny .
