Actually, I recommended the 3:73 gears. I think the 4:30 would be a tad too much. First gear would be completely useless with a 4:30 gear and traction would become a major issue. If you had an automatic then I would say either 4:10 or 4:30.
I just think 4:30 is a little too much for what you want to do right now. It's just my opinion.
The "B" cam is another good cam. A little more radical but a good cam. I'm not positive but I think speed density would have a problem with the "B" cam. I not sure what all you "can get away with" in terms of mods with speed density though.
Another good person to talk to is 88 workcar or Unit
Mach 1 is another good person to ask.
Mach, if you read this, I am being sincere with that remark..ok?
I woud definatly ask Druidis about suspension.
I am sure he will recommend subframes, roll cage and caster/camber plates for road racing.
I hope this helps.
