well i got the E cam too and its fine for me cuz im on the street alot and i dont rev too high on the road. Since the cam starts its power around 2500rpm, its perfect for the street. But if u want a different one, u could check some crane cams or buy a custom cam for a starting point @ around 3000-3500rpms. That will still be coo for street. But i never understood why guys get cams that start their powerband at 4500rpms and sh*t. Unless u got HUGE gears or are at the track alot that just seems silly on the street....youll never reach your power. Anyway, with ur setup ive heard alot of guys put the B303 in and they liked it.

The E-303 works well with street oriented parts such as those heads. I use it with my combination and love it.

Dont use the E cam. If your going to use the E cam, I would at the very least put a Trick Flow Stage one cam. Those are alot better than the E cam plus it sounds nicer.
