Just read through the build and I was wondering, isn't the b20 intake cam smaller than the b18? When I was searching for cams I read that the b18 head flowed just a tad better cause of the intake cam. I may be wrong but I was hoping you could clarify this.

 

[94rs-gharp]

im not 100% sure i did do research on here and the cams are identical from what i learned its just the bore is larger in the b20 making it a 2.0

 

[decision4life]

Ok I read on a cam comparison that the b18 was just like .3 or .03 higher lift but I've never got any real evidence to prove it.
*edit The b20z cams are the same as the b1 but the b20b are the one that are a tad smaller

 

[94rs-gharp]

if you search my name on here and for post started by user then you will see what ive searched but .03 thirty thousands of an inch shouldnt mae too much of a difference its basically 5 sheets of notebook paper thick (for comparison)

 

[decision4life]

Ok I just wasn't for sure, I didn't mean nothin bad by it. I've just never knew of anyone acutally doin the swap, just people who have went by what they've heard
