Default B18B1/B20 cams - same or different?

I have someone wanting to sell me B20 cams. Is there any difference from the stock LS cams? I was told it will give me alittle bit better top end. I dont want to waste money on them if they are the same.

b20b's power is in the lower rpm range that wouldnt make any sense for them to give your high revving b18c1 anymore topend

The B18B cams have slightly more duration.

The B20 cams would lower top end.

Not necessarily. Your Powerband just may be lower than w/ the LS cams. IMO, I would rahter have the powerband be a little higher because even w/ my LS tranny I pass the traps @ 7100 in 4th.
