How do the 38's work? Did you lose any streetability?

Are the G21's .380 lift and are you running stock valve guides?

I was thinking of running the 38's with .330 lift cams and stock displacement and compression. Any imput greatly appreciated.

Also, are you using the stock fuel valve or a Pingel?

Thanks.

The throttle is stiffer than stock carbs, takes getting use to. I am rumming APE short valve guides with over sized valves.
I don't think that the carbs will do much with stock engine, but the cams may help some. I ran a 1989 gsxr with 1216 cc, 13 to 1 kit with 36 mm carbs with jet kit, and ran 9.60 at 135 mph, a few years ago.
