Powerscreen cams in bandit engine


Recommended Posts

Posted

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!

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 ;)

The 34 tintop carbs along with the F cams should ensure some lower rpm torque to a Bandit lump ?

That is very true (y)

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 xD

I like the F cams I use them in 2 of my turbo bikes. 

Yes, I'd say they are the best all round set of cams :D but don't tell everyone or we'd never find a set for sale xD
