I was wondering if a cam with a different profile like a RV grind would help it be more effficient now that the motor is not spinning as fast as it was.
Crower still does a lot of cams that are considered mileage grinds and will do custom regrinds also.I would talk to there tech people and give the info on your combo and see what they can do for you,back in the 70's during the Jimmy Carter "gas crisis" some of the RV mileage grinds they made would improve 4-5 MPG with the right parts.
