Default Cam selection

I currently have a B303 ford racing cam and was wondering if i would be able to feel a difference going with an E303? Thanks

B cam will be faster at the track, either way I wouldn't bother switching from one to the other...

well the deal is i am puting a new shortblock on my car(has 165k) and i found a shortblock with 50k for 300 so putting a cam in would be nothing.......but for add ons i have gt40p heads cobra intake, 70mmtb its maf if that matters, 1:7 roller rockers, and 19lb injecters, and its a 5 speed if that matters

if money is an issue stick with the cam you got but if you can splurge a little a custom cam would be a nice addition.... in the next week I'm gonna be removing an f-cam for a friend who had a custom cam made by CI and swapping edelbrock rpm heads for canfields.....Jay said it'll be a world of difference...were all curious to see the et's after swap..cause he has plenty of the before plus dyno numbers before..and the after we'll see
