Why? That is a smaller cam, and will make more low end TQ than the bigger cams. I've riden in a stock geared FM13 cammed car and it was fast as ****, which is a substantially bigger cam than the F4.

Saying the car "need" gears with a 226ish cam is a little extreme, but they are a bonus on any cammed motor. I personally wouldn't go over a 3:73 with the F4 anyway, it makes PLENTY of tq.

i plan on it this time. i'll be keeping the springs the same but going with hardened pushrods.
