A b-cam will do not much, if anything, except give you a lopey idle and guarantee that you will fail your next emissions test. I truly hope the $300 includes the purchase of the b-cam. Even if it does, he's stickin you. In order to rebuild it right, he has to remove the cam anyways, so why would he charge you more money to put in a different one. The b-cam's are relatively cheap, no where near the $300 extra he is charging you. The RR's will help some by reducing friction and freeing up some power, as well as increasing the valve lift. If that is what you are looking for, I would suggest a different cam. Look at the trick flow cams. The stage 1 is, in my opinion, a better grind than the b-cam, and its cheaper. The intake will make minimal power increases without a good, high flowing set of heads. If you cant afford a good set of heads, I would at the least have the stock ones ported. The stock injectors are fine for your application. You dont need to get bigger injectors till you get upwards of 300+ hp. A good cleaning (and I dont mean the cheap stuff you buy at orilley's) of the injectors might do you some good.
