Alphabet cams aren't the best choice, however if I had to choose, I'd pick the B.
Yeah, you'll want to replace the valvesprings/retainers/locks with a quality set. 110lbs seat pressure will be plenty. Trick flow sells a setup through summit for $125 that'll work. You'll need a valvespring compressor ~$80.
You'll also have to degree the cam. Unless you trust dot-to-dot which can be off by as much as 9 degrees! Summit also sells a cam degree kit for $89. Or you can buy just the degree wheel for $32 & pick up a dial indicator & magnetic stand at a cheaper place. I found both at Harbor Freight for ~$7 each.
Maybe call Ed Curtis or Brian at HiTech, they'll be able to sugest a decent off the shelf cam. Hell, they may even have a nice used cam cheap.
