Sorry if it's a repost, it's tough searching this type of detailed info.

Any ideas on why a cam wouldn't work with Fuel Injection? I know about the vacuum etc...But Comp only lists one cam for FI, when none of them seem too radical...I'm looking at the 68-201-4, Anyone running it? Anyone with FI? Do you like it?
I've also read somewhere that the Comp springs don't work with the 4.0 head, is that going to be another issue?
Thanks!

I run the 68-201-4 with 1.7 roller rockers. no problems on an 01 TJ obviously with fuel injection.

All of the CompCams AMC I6 cams will work with EFI.

That's correct. The CompCams springs only work with the 199/232/258 heads. You'll need different springs for the 4.0 head. If you use a cam with a valve lift in the 0.45-0.50" range, I suggest you go for the Mopar Performance P5249464 springs with matching retainers and keepers.

Forgot to say thanks here, I ended up going with the 68-232-4 cam, Mopar Springs and a Cloyes Dual Roller timing set. Runs way better than stock, but the cam and lifters did come out looking visibly worn. Thanks again for the advice. Another quick question, do I need different retainers for those springs, they seem to be fine the way they are but what do I know?

Yes, you need the Mopar P4452032 retainers and P4529218 locks.
