Default F13 cam, no low end pull...

I have a f13 cam with stock rear (3.42) m6. The cam really doesn't start making power until about 3100 rpms. Anyone think it would be worth throwing some 4.10 gears in?

Yes, put a set of gears in it. What else is done to the car?

Yes, gears will definitely help. BTW what's the cams LSA, and did you degree it to verify the actual cam specs?

Put the 4.10's in and see a major difference. This is the cam I have ran for 7 to 8 years now, I LOVE the way it pulls from the word GO, low end and high end.
