RE: B = bad

Upon research, meaning I looked back to a post from kevin, 4/2/02, the C4AE-B cam would be a poor choice for Josh's application. I'm basing this on his concerns about this cam not making usable power for a heavy car under 4,000 rpm. You're right. According to kevin's information, which I trust a lot, the C4AE-B cam is the "LeMans" which was ground on 106 lobe centers thus making it a poor street choice.

However, you said that your builder said the cam he's offering you is ground on 112 lobe centers? You need to research this a bit.

The Wolverine cam I ran in my 427 was 245 @.050 both intake/exhaust; .524 lift, .303 at the lobe; ground on 114 lobe center. Again, this was an excellent all around high performance cam. I liked it a lot anyway.

You might want to search "B" cams here and you should be able to find kevin's excellent explanation of the differences & variations of the 427 Ford solid lifter camshafts.

Hope I've helped and not confused. Camshaft selection.....always a tough area to make recommendations without knowing all the facts and desires.
