i tried the 1.7 rockers way back when my 91 was almost stock you will not hear much of any difference the b303 has a noticale idle and the x303 sounds aggressive but you realy need to do some head and intake work or replacement

The problem is that by putting in a big cool sounding cam on an otherwise stock motor you will lose alot power down low. Big cams shift the power band higher in the RPM range and without the supporting mods, like heads/intake/gears/stall, you will not be able to take advantage of the power gain.
