why not get a cam based on the stock 1.6 rocker...saves $$$$$ and if you need more lift later just add the 1.7's...I need all mods of car to suggest a cam

I have a b-303 cam, and it really pulls much harder than the stock cam, but from 4000 - 6000 rpm, my motor lost lots of bottem end power, till I advance my timing to 14 deg.
it is an alright cam, but after looking through a comp cams catalogue, I would have picked up an extreme energy series, or nitrous cam, but after you do it, you will probably get used to it and you will want more, so look what you plan on doing in the future too to help you pick the right cam.

although I have seen a 347 stroker with an 8psi supercharger and a b303 cam running in the low 11's.
