Quick question. In the megacycle catalog it says: "XJ models - stock timing (more radical than XS stock models)". Does this mean that you can swap XJ cams into an XS11 for a more aggressive timing???

Short answer, no. The XJ cams are the same as the '80-81 XS cams. While these have slightly more exhaust lift compared to the '78-79 cams, they have considerably less duration and are 'milder' in that they have better low-end power while giving up some at the top of the tach.Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Just wait until you see my next thread...
Thanks for the info, Steve. I'm trying to see if there are any year of cams I can swap in to decrease the valve overlap. It looks like I'm going to be forced to pay $500 for some megacycle cams to eliminate the overlap...78 E - 2to1 exhaust, dynatek coils, special headlight [SOLD!]
