Finchyboy123 Posted Wednesday at 05:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:18 PM Do the 1127 powerscreen cams make any difference in the 1200 bandit engine? Probably been ask many times but tried looking and cant find much Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted Wednesday at 05:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:29 PM A 40 hp difference between both bikes kind of answers that question 1 Quote Link to comment

coombehouse Posted Wednesday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:56 PM They have more lift than the MK1 bandit cams & even more than the MK2 cams. 1 Quote Link to comment
2scars Posted Thursday at 04:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:13 PM The info is out there, can't remember where though. The Powerscreen cams will move the power up the rev range, to the detriment of the grunty midrange they are known for. Adding just the intake cam will boost the top end and keep the midrange mostly intact. I have a PS motor that I want to disassemble this winter to remove the head, barrels, and pistons to one day move to my B12 commuter. One day... Do it and share the results! 1 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted Thursday at 04:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:31 PM (edited) The basic answer, is yes they will make a difference. You will gain more mid to top end power (bhp) but you will lose some bottom end toque. The nice thing with gsx1100f cams compared to the gsxr cams, is you still get a good mid range power, where the gsxr cams are more all top end. THIS IS A VERY BASIC ANSWER in ball park areas. You can put a mix of different cams in from bandit to gsxf to gsxr depending on what you want/can get these days but that's a totally different question all together and a lot more involved Edited Thursday at 04:33 PM by wraith 1 Quote Link to comment

That is very true It's like all tuning, in most ways you gain at one point but you lose in another, it's all about what you're turning for. Bottom end toque. Mid range a mix of both toque and bhp or top end bhp. Don't even start on best exhaust 4-2 or 4-2-1 or 4-1 1 Quote Link to comment
