You can get them both for $250 (intake and exhaust and free shipping if you buy both) from a man named Bob Cobb. Call 1-877-243-DEERE and ask for Bob. They will make a HUGE difference but, you may have to change the shims on the exhaust side to get the correct clearance. If you are a good/fair mechanic, you can do it yourself, otherewise have a professional do it. Good luck!

They are definitely worth the $250. I installed the intake and exhaust Hotcams in my wifes Z and it rips. She also has a full LRD pipe and pro Flow kit. With these mods it runs and neck with my brothers Cannondale with a Graydon pipe and Moto map. Before he would pull me quite easily, not anymore. A great investment.

It's my brothers Cannondale and it's a Cannibal. I had a Speed that I recently sold and we both had the same mods. They ran almost identical, but his seemed to have more punch than mine. I'm just waiting for the new Yamaha to arrive. I do like my Z a lot though. How does your's run with all those mods? Thanks

Is the power increase you get from puting cams in a piped Z more or less than
the power change from puting a pipe on a stock one?

Want to put cam in this winter and wondering what to expect.

I would have to say the cams would be a greater power increase than the pipe. You need to install the pipe to take full advantage of the cams I would think.

Where do you guys get shims? I've worked on the easy adjustment type valves (yami type) but not the shim type. Just wondering if the shims are standard or if you have to get them from a suzuki dealer?

Your local Suzuki dealer can get the shims for you, which is what I did.
