it's different because of duration...time valve is off seat....you can replace valve springs on the car to cam spec to prevent valve float

Smaller duration cams give you more low end torque.There is 4* of difference between the E (220*) and B (224*) cams. We put the B cam in my buddies stang.You could feel more mid-high band power and had more of a lope to it, but it doesn't have CARB #. Oh yeah,i believethe CARB # for the E cam is only good for 5spd cars.

If you have a good set of gears, suspension, and nice tires to get you off the line then you don't have to worry about squeezing every bit of low end torque out of your engine.

1.7 RR + e303 cam = fast car or mashed valves? i wanted to get the project underway fairly soon.

i hope you guys are all talking about using new springs....... even .500 is the limit for stock springys, and .475 is pushing the envelope.

you'll have problems there way before anything hits a piston.

lift has nothing to do with PtV clearance. It has to do with overlap and duration.

and there is no "set rule" on lift... your best bet is to find a cam you like, and have the pistons notched to match

with .530 lift my springs are close. But not to far. 1.7rr's would be a maybe.
