After reading some of the comments in this thread, I think maybe what I was reading previously regarding cam choice may have been in the context of folks building race engines and I didn’t realize it.

If anything a 4 gear is more forgiving to cam choice since you got more gears to choose from and choice of what rpm you take off from.

Where auto you need to match cam and stall and have a wider torque curve cause you got less gears.

And yes lot of the things people go on about are towards more street/strip or race oriented applications.
