If your gears are correct, you don't need a wide operating range. You've only got "X" amount of rev range in each gear. Shift right and a "narrow" powerband is great.

would the ASA cam be a good "cam only" choice? im thinking about this cam. i have an 98 M6 and when i get my cam i will be installing the following. cam (obviously), 918's w/ hardened pushrods, LS6 intake w/p/p tb, LT's with ORX and 1 chamber flowmasters. will this be a good setup. i have stock 3.42's for now. will those gears kill the cam or will it be ok untill i get a 12 bolt with 4.10's? also will this setup be ok with my stock 806 heads? also a tune will be done prior to the install. can anyone suggest anything else to support the cam?

gears will even help the stock cam. you only need ls6 springs and dont need hardend pushrods. 806 heads should be fine. If youre motivated and have money you could get some ls6 heads. And mill the heads to optimize the compression for that cam. Also a differnt gaskets for a tighter quench.

. i just want to make sure that the 3.42's isint going to limit the cam to the point where it dosent make sense to get it without gears.
