With his setup the B would be better, seeing as his car is mostly stock. The longer he can keep the valve open the better. And .516 is damn near perfect for his setup, (hadnt calculated the lift in like 8 years). Even with the GT40 intake the B cam will still be better. And personally, I LOVE the sound of a hardcore lope, my car shakes at idle, looks like its pissed, antenna bounces all over the damn place.

Yeah, mine's a little more lopey than I thought it would be, I guess b/c of the rockers.... I would get a valve spring kit for anything other than the stock configuration=Insurance and less/no valve float.

Yes because it has more duration, not to mention itll raise your powerband slightly to somewhere around 6500RPM, rather than dying off at 5700.

Any full roller rocker is ok. Mine are Ford motorsport Omega rockers. Im not sure if they make em anymore. Ive installed the crane gold rollers on my buddies '93LX, they look nice but are a little loud for my taste, they clatter like hell, and yes that was normal operation for em, I even called crane and was like "WTF these things are LOUD AS HELL!" they said thats what theyre supposed to sound like.

If you can afford them, the Comp Pro Magnum are some of the best out there. If you get aluminum rockers, make sure they are extruded, not cast. Extruded are stronger and more durable. TFS, scorpion, Comp are all good brands. If you go too cheap w/ the rockers, you may be rebuilding your motor and picking the needle bearings out of it.
