Re: FPR - no, other way around. The FPR can be used to raise the pressure in the fuel rail, so the injectors flow a bit more. Its a hack, but if you only need a little more flow, its economical. If you getting bigger injectors there's no need for the extra flow from bumping up the pressure, as they will have enough flow already.
On RB26s many people have had good results using adjustable cam gears. The argument to avoid them because the tuner may not touch them, should be an arguement to get a better tuner, rather than to avoid the gears! For Cost/benefit, most setups will find cam gears a far better alternative than aftermarket cams. Anyways, they're certainly not required.
