Default B cam decent for my setup?

I've somebody telling me that a B303 with the GT40Ps and GT40 intake will probably not perform as well as even a stock cam on that set up. He's telling me the B303 isn't a good cam for that setup. Any thruth to this? This guy said that an E303 and TFS1 are the best for a GT40 setup, TFS1 being the main choice.

I'm only asking cause I was planning on getting a B303 this weekend for $50, but if it'll actually kill some performance I'll look for a trickflow. Thanks!!

I'd get it brady, your car should make good power with it.

So a B cam would be decent for my application? I'd like to go with a TFS1 but $50 is too good to pass up.

I've got a TFS 1 I'll take $65 for plus shipping. I think it's better than a alphabet cam. If your heart is set on the B cam go for it, it's better than stock.

Screw it, I'll get the b cam. Can't beat $50 and if I don't like it I can always change it in the future.

The crate GT-40 motors that are sold through jegs/summit run a Bcam so I would think you'd be fine.

224/224* at .050" lift, .480" lift with 1.6s. I'm going to use 1.7s.

well there are always better cams, the b cam will do well wit ur setup, i think u should look at somethig a little bigger, adn taht guy who is sayin the trick flow 1 cam is the best ever, sure it wasnt me? lol. but for real i assume ur worried about emissions, so a trick flow 1 cam will do well and have u looked at comp cams, they are awesome cams.
