I can appreciate having a higher bsfc. I want the tallest part of the curve to be at 2ooo rpm, why would having a cam set up for higher performance be a benefit. I probably never ever make my car put out more than 40 horse power or what 80 ftlbs of torque at 2700 rpm, 60 mph. I can get 55 mpg with the current set up. Could care less if the car will go 80 although it will run 95 now.

Well that is my plan I can read about it or I can try it.
