What sort of improvement would I gain on my 97 G10 by installing the economizer cam that 3tec sells? I pulled a 92 geo out of the blackberries last summer, did the head and honed and reringed it. I got 60.1 mpg on a 152 mile freeway trip. Can I hope to get at least 50 mpg out of this 97 g10. I dont hypermile, but I drive very carefully. |

I already get more than that with mine, and it's the same body style as the '97 hatch, although I've lightened mine up. I've got a complete eco head, just came in the mail yesterday. This will be going on my new motor. |

The 3Tech economy cam was an instant 5MPG increase for me. |
