I have a 1994 jeep wrangler 2.5L with 4.11 gear ratio using 35" tires. 130 miles
I was looking into putting in a low torque camshaft. Or lower the gear ratio to help out with the 35" tires. I can afford one change. What will give me the most performance for my money?
 
There is no cam in the world that will make that 2.5L happy running 35” tires with 4.11 gears. Even the 4.0 doesn’t do very well with that setup and it has 50% more horsepower and torque. Regear it to 5.13 and consider stepping down the tires to 32” or so if you want it to perform decently.
