edit: here's a link to the b-cam specs.

FWIW, I have the e-cam and don't like being anywhere near 2000 rpm. I went from a 3.73 to a 4.10 (much better) a few weeks after getting it. Very nice top end charge though. It could have been degreed but I'm planning a new engine anyway. XE270 is the most likely candidate.

What do you have your idle rpm set to? If it's 800+ rpm you won't hear much of a lope. Mine usually sits around 700-750 rpm or so.
