    1150 Cams in a 81 GS1100E

    I've heard that you can install 1150 cams in the 1100. Anyone know what year 1150 they have to come from? Is it a direct bolt on, etc.?

    As long as you have a 16 valve 1100 the 1150 cams are a drop in. You will lose the tach drive & have to install an electronic tach. If that is the case you can also install air cooled GSXR 750 or 1100 cams. They are even MORE lift! If you need, I have GSXR cams for sale. Ray.

        You can bolt the 1100 sprockets on & drop them in if you want but I NEVER install cams wihout degreeing them. Ray.

                Do you need to do anything crazy like stiffer valve springs and hardened rockers with the GSXR cams?

                  The GSXR cams are of varied lifts with the 88/89 750 being the biggest at .350 int. lift & .330 lift exh. No trick springs or anything needed but I WOULD degree them in. Ray.
