Cam recommendations

[rputney01]

I'm considering putting slightly bigger cams in my 1000 after the top-end refresh. I'm not a racer, but I will have new first oversize pistons and I'm running 29mm smoothbores with pods and a Kerker header. I'd appreciate your recommendations and thoughts.

So far, I had one guy tell me to put an exhaust cam from a 750D in it and leave the stock intake cam. Another person suggested putting another intake cam from a 1000 in as an exhaust cam. I'm new to this stuff and am seeking some experienced advice.

Thanks.

Look for some used, if you can find them, or new after market camshafts with slightly more lift/duration than stock grinds.
Something closer to /350 lift and you will love it.
If you had gained more compression ratio, you might even consider the .395 lift profiles.

Leave it stock. Or degree the stock cams based on recommendations of the hot rod guys around here. Those pistons you installed have the stock compression ratio. I suggest against long duration cams because they bleed off compression and will reduce low rpm torque. Compression bleed is no worry with a big bore kit since they are typically over 10:1 compression to begin with, but with stock pistons I'd pass.

BTW, .5 mm over does, in fact, raise the compression ratio.

Mr. "KEEP IT ALL STOCK ONLY!", speaks. We MUST listen.
