most people in this forum will tell you not to get the a,b,c cams casue of their dual lift properties ie. Duration': 224°/224° Lift: .480'/.480'

true, but other cam companies produce cams like that as well. To try to answer your question, the E cam will be "more fun" to run on the street in the lower RPMs, but the B cam will give you a better 1/4 mile time and stronger top end
