      WebCam will make you any grind you want. Why so big on the exhaust cam are you spraying it also?
      I like the 420/390 for a big NA motor

              Either way, I can get you new billets or hard welds. The set of .416s I have I can send you pics of. I am honest about the stuff I sell & I wouldn't hesitate to run them in my own engine, & I am PICKY!! LOL!!!

                Speaking of which, anyone have a modified GSX-R intake cam set up for the 1150 which they might want to part with?

                  I can do the mod for you but I am out of the good 88/89 GSXR750 cams. I have LOTS of GSXR1100 cams.

                    Gee I must be a bad speller. I am aware of that. I wondered if when buying new camshafts hard-welded ones were better thn billet as advertised or there is zero difference? Im curios. If i end up spending a load of Canadian money on cams i wanted to get the best quality I could. Especially with the rocker and Camshaft issues I have suffered previously. Thanx Mike

                      Awesome, Ray. Does the 1100 cam offer similar benefits?

                          They are bigger than the stock GS cams, yes.
