guys i know that gearing the car to run in its most fuel eff, range will net gains. i just thought you guys might no of a source of already made cams or a company/person who had a cam grind that would bring the torque and hp curve down and improve fe . i see that milage cams can be had for geo,s and some hondas, i should try to look at the differences between those cams and there stock counterpart to get an idea on what changes to ask for at a cam grinding shop. if you make the motor more effecient in a lower rpm range it would work in syenergy with your gear change recomendations, and i dont care if i lose hp in the process the echo has 105hp and weigh,s 2000 lbs. i will be doing mirror delete , grill block and rear wheel well covers.
