B cam vs E cam

[86GT]

A B with 1.7RR would be a good compromise. I had this debate a while back when figuring out my combination, and I ended up with the F cam, its got 288 duration and .512" lift w/1.6RRs. Its definitely a stick cam though, as it really kicks ya in the pooch at 2,800-3,000 and pulls to the limiter.

The E cam (in the FRPP catalog) makes peak HP at 5500rpm and torque at 2500 rpm.
The B cam makes peak HP at 5100 and torque at 3300.
The F cam makes peak HP at 6000 and torque at 2800.

Well to get back to the point of 82GT's post, the B will make more power than the E in a slightly different powerband.
