oh yeah, with a 230/236 what would gas milage look like? big difference? any loss in accessorys? power breaks still work strong? im wanting to get a nice cam...i kinda want 114 lobe though bc i plan on going turbo/supercharged in the next 12 months...i wanna build a mid 10 second every day driver...think i could get 12-15 mpg with that

I am sure you will gain, but not near what this cam is designed for.

My gas mileage has dropped considerably with this cam.

You will at a minimum have to change valve springs to use this cam.
