Andrews 2X Cams? Any Performance Gain?

Hello, I have an old set of Andrews 2X cams for the Z1-KZ900.
I see the specs. in an old file. .360 lift.
Do they help performance on a stock 1015cc, stock head?

Nice drop in cam on a stock motor.

What is their value nowadays?

Any opinions?

Thanks.

Those are nice cams. Drop them in and you are good to go. Just make sure they have the same amound of teeth on the gears as the bike you are going to install them in. Roy

It's my understanding that a stock head can flow enough air for up to .370 or so lift. Once you hit that lift the head starts becoming the choke point for performance. So...if that's right, those cams should make a difference you can feel. Probably the best ones for a stock head.
