being more specific...
i should of been more specific. I wanted to know what is the gas mileage difference between these two differing duration cams. Since from what I have read the 272's are rough idle etc. they would probably use more gas. Also, I watched the video with the fq400 and the tester mentioned it getting 6 mpg. As far as engine mgmt, I have nothing yet. Just looking to get more info on cams, which will be my next step...

PS: I know you want info on the differences between 264's and 272's but I don't know of anyone who has run both with all other conditions the same.

Thx Kieth, the more I read re. the mileage, the more it looks like the tunning is critical. I just dont want to install cams without EM and get 8 mpg. Anyway I appreciate the post. thx.

Which stand alone are you running? What are your mods? 27 mpg is phenominal!

Cams actually ADD gas milage, they make the car more efficient, now this only works if you STAY OFF THE BOOST! i get great milage with my 272's, if I get on it, well it burns fast.....
