Hey zlrx, looking good

Did you check the deck height when you put the wiseco piston in it?

I put my cams at 102/105, but as you might remember, i was having some fuel or ignition issues, and then all of the sudden it was winter , and everything came to a halt, and still a month or two till i can get everything running smooth, but hopefully some new coils and zx11 carbs should get me running

Looking forward to some video

SWEET ASS BIKE !! Brings to mind a ?or to what is the the biggest head you can put on the ZL1. 1200 will fit ? My brother says camming will only get 2-4 hp and i believe at 800 bks for cams is just insane. (Kawi) I am a firm believer if it aint broke don't fix it. BUT, speed is to adictting . This wat i have in my motor, stage 2 carb kit , timming advr, hole shot exaust, (Dale's) and me. Any other low cost twiking that i could do ? Thanks Billy. OH yeah have you done dyno yet ?

Of course i looked at the piston height clearance.I have a CR o 12:1 that means only the headgasket is the space between piston and head.
And cam timing is not expensive it only cost you adjustable cam sprockets and they cost $45,00 .
Special cams can be expensive but the will give you much more hp 10-15HP
In mine case I have zx11 cams ($50 ebay)and there are no faster cams if you what to keep it all driveable.With fast cams (hotcams) you get more toppower but loose bottompower.The zx11 cams are something inbetween



I apply more pictures today
