| That all depends on your driving style, trans gearing, trire size, etc. |

Oh boy Umm I have 31 inch tires, I drive it like I stole it. Mostly threw trails and ORV trails but I want to have a good top speed because I would like to be able to drive it on freeways at 70 plus MPH. I will be using an IRS AH Code trans which I believe has the 4.12 Gear Ratio.

| With a 2110 and 31"tires your going to need something along the lines of an FK41 or FK42. I'm running a 2109 in a baja with 4.86r/p with 31"paddles and there is a huge drop in rpm when shifting into second and I'm spending most my time in second between 2000rpm and 4500rpm.I have a much larger cam thou. With a 4.12r/p its going to be more of a drain. Depends on what your doing, but your going to need some low end to pull 31" tires with a 4.12r/p. |

| I have an FK-42 in my 2085. Awesome cam for my driving style! I only take my baja on the street (no fun I know) running 205/70/r14's through a 75 super tans (single side cover) with a 3.88 R&P. You can jump on it in any gear and it just goes. With your higher R&P you should benefit from the torque, and be able to drive through the gears easier (not a high rev cam so you shouldnt have to wind it out). |

Thanks for the posts. Do you guys have a link to a good place to buy. I was looking online and found the FK-42 on a couple website but the website Appletreeauto.com I usually buy from doesn't have it listed like that they just have measurements. Thanks again.
