Have a set of 82 Katana cam shaft's. I have slotted cam sprockets and oem 1100e cam sprockets. Oem Kat and oem 1100e part numbers are different. Can I bolt up the 1100e sprockets or would I be better off spending the money to have the Katana cams degreed? Bike has stock 1100e motor, GSXR carbs and pipe. If degreeing, what timing would give good street/mid range. Thanks

The other sprockets can be bolted right on without issue but you will make better power if you spend the time to degree them. What is your planned use for this engine, street riding or racing? For street riding, I would set them at 104 on the intake & 106 on the exhaust. For racing I would go 107 & 109, always 2 bigger on the exhaust #.
