We will often see a roller cam ordered with a "B" suffix code after the lobe number. With the code they can, but not always, alter the rated duration. Typically with 1-2 degree less duration.
The duration at .050" and .200" remain the same.
Also sometimes a "B' suffix code can, but not always, add an additional 0.001" to the lobe lift.

Different journal diameters can alter the rated duration.
