Check out the "Specifications" green book in the tech resources section:
http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... =36&t=7259

... and go to page 42 in the pdf. According to that, the B200K has an "L" or "Y" (Nordic) cam, the B200E an "A" cam. Just to complete the list, the B200F has an "M" cam.

"Which is better?"

A question I'll leave to the experts

thanks a lot there is a lot of great information i need, reading i think the b200k is not better than the b200e for me becouse of the valve height is less than mines.
thanks!!

A cam is much better than the L or Y cam... but it's still fairly sedate for a N/A car. Atleast a K or H cam would be wanted for fun factor

So what's so special about the M cam in my B200F then? (other than that it "only" has 109 bhp.) I never knew the cat versions hat a different cam in the head before ...

Oh, and LU Jet rather than LE Jet ...
