Ive got a little extra money and am interested in buying cams for my bike. 82 KZ1000 LTD Vance & hines megaphone, k&n pod filters, dyna coils, and Wired George has my carbs for rebuild and jet now. Anybody have a sugestion on what cams would work best? I ride the KZ on the street but I would like to take it to the strip this summer.
Thanks

Andrews 1x will give you a little more power and are good for a stock motor. The 2x cams would really help out if you went up to a 1075 kit with a header and pods.

How about a set of 83-84 GPZ cams? Do they drop in in that motor?

Didn't think about that. Is this a j motor? I thought only the Spector style motor had the tach drive. Rest of the j motors had electronic tach didn't they?
