Well, the EA cam's specs are physicaly larger than the EB/D 4.0L cams, however it is not as torquy. If your looking to just swap a stock cam into your car, grab an EF/L stock cam as they are basicaly EB/D Xr6 cams.

the 1604 is designed as a torquie cam. More torque than their run of the mill 1004.

If your looking to bulk torque, you wont get it NA by adjusting cams. Torque comes from CI, or boost.
