Re: B1 Cam with Stock Heads 1) yes, Just ask Fireball <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
2 I would upgrade the pushrods.
3) Stock length.
4) No. Any cam will respond better to ported heads including the B1
5) You can get very close. You can get a 220/220 114 or a 222/222 114 from comp with ~.560 lift and fast ramps.

<strong>1) Is it worth it to use a B1 cam with stock heads?
2) If it is worth it, do you need to upgrade the pushrods or can stock be used.
3) If you need to upgrade the pushrods, what length do they need to be.
4) Would I be better off to just go with a LS1 Hot Cam instead since I can't stomach the 2000+ price for new heads?
5) Last but not least, I will probably get flamed for this but I noticed that the B1 cam from MTI is $459. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
Cant you get Comp Cams to custom grind you the same cam for $379???
any help is greatly appreciated.

I already have a set of 5.3l aluminum truck heads but I dont know where to get them ported and polished.
I live in maryland, if anyone know some place relatively close, let me know. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Use hardeded stock length pushrods and some matching springs though.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Was that a gain of 37 at peak? If so, what was that peak rpm? And were the gains under the curve very noticeable as well? I’m asking all of this because I’ve got a B1 that’s going in my car soon with stock heads. Thanks...
