The B-Cam has a .480/.480 lift 224/224 Duration @.050 112LSA
The NX-274-HR has a .555/570 lift 224/236 Duration @.050 114LSA

What heads and intake do you have? For the NX274HR you need some good heads.

Ditto

You'll be good with that head and intake combo.(I'd rather see a RPMII on it) It will be better than the Bcam thats for sure.
