I'm going to regear my suburban and firebird.
I have 3.21 gears to replace the stock 4.11 gears in my suburban just need to install them. The firebird will get 3:1 or 3.25:1 gears in a ford 9 inch to replace its weak GM 10bolt rear that has 3.73 gears. Then also get a T-56magnum with a 0.5:1 over drive to replace the standard T-56 with 0.6:1 top gear eventually, enabling it to turn 1,300 to 1,400RPM at 75mph.
Because I know it works because of reliable, reproducable results.

You said these results aren't even reproducable even on the original modified vehicle.
What makes you think it's all of a sudden going to work on all makes and all models?

The closest thing I have found to a magic bullet that actually works is lean burn cruise.
