It will be a lil quicker but much more enjoyable for daily driving with the extra torque available at a lower rpm.

its nice gain. my vx ran 16.7 on the 1/4, the ls ran 14.8. these figures are with everything stock. the b18b is nice to drive around town because its linear and you can drive it under 2000 rpm and be ok.

A stock ls is considerably faster than any stock single cam. I'm not saying its anything amazing, but you will notice a moderate difference. Plus its alot more driveable like someone else said. The biggest advantage to it is that is has a lot of potential, so don't expect to be t3h w1n with just the swap.
