cam degreeing

[U.P.dragracer]

Just wondering if degreeing a stock set of GS 1100 cams would make any more top end power for dragstrip use .
I'd like to lose a little bottom end power to gain some high RPM power . \\/

I'm shooting for 9.90's with a stock GS 1100 LOL!!!! it as run 10.30's so far bone stock 8-[

You wish you could run 10's on a bone stock 1100.

Setting both intake and exhaust to 110 degrees is supposed to be a good high-end setup.

couldn't hurt.

Sounds like it's time for some bigger pistons.

I read many years ago that Byron Hines always set cams (GS1100) @ 107 both sides for hot street bikes. He said no one ever complained with them there.

By all means "dial-in" the cams, check that they are correctly timed to stock first, several engine builders I have spoken to over the years have found them to be upto 15 degrees out from the factory!!
So if theyare off at all set them upto stock centres first before dialling anything else up,I would suggest experimenting with them a bit too, a member here found 106 on exhaust and 110 on the inlet worked best for his drag motor.
