Great swap. The D cam (for the B20E) was derived from a B18 rally cam (so I've heard). In the B20E's case, they used it as a way to bump up the HP and justify the added cost of the D-Jetronic injection system, which they needed for emissions reasons.

Makes a B18 rev very nicely, you might give up a slight bit of low rpm torque, but you'll only miss that the first 30 feet from a stop, the whole rest of the drive you'll appreciate the added zing.
