Cams & Gas Mileage?
This is probably a topic that has been beat to death but I am wondering how much a mild to moderate cam effects your gas mileage?
I am thinking a TR224 or something around 228/228 with the smallest stall that will accomadate them. What kind of reduction in gas mileage would I see ?
Once again, Im sure its been beat to death , sorry

I have a 402 that is getting about 15-16 around town, just haven't had enough highway time to tell yet.

its all in the tuning with these cars. i know guys who have the tr224 cam who get the same fuel economy as they did stock with a good tune. as u may or may not know, cars usually come from the factory runnin a lil rich.
