I am looking for a drop in hotter cam for my 1983 spectre 1100. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

1983/1984 ZX1100-A1/2 (aka GPz1100) should be a drop in and they are definitely hotter. Be advised, if you find these on eBay, you'll be bidding against me :laugh:

If still using the BS34 Cv Carb, you may find the loss in Vacuum signal causing poor running, even with jetting changes. You would be better switching to a Manual slide, like the Cr's or RS's

Unless you are going to change the cam chain also,don't do it.I got a NOS set of ELR cams from an 81-82 GPZ,81-83 1000J motor.Definately larger than stock.But the overlap is so tight,that the valve clash if they are not perfectly aligned and the cam chain is tight.Just ride it.

Well maybe I will wait until a rebuild. I was just hoping I could drop some cams in and set the timing. Thanks for the info guys.
