The bigger cam will move the torque curve up. You wont make as much power at cruising speed, so you'll need more throttle to maintain speed at a cruise. so you'll use more fuel.

hahahahahahha yea lets make fun of the little guy, i understand that part, i was refering to not understanding why the bigger cam that creates more power would need more fuel at a cruising speed. it has better power to weight, which im guessing the bigger cam requires more fuel to air mixtures???

mpg is mainly determined by control of right foot and the tune.
i had a 6 litre with a 232/234 cam and got 18mpg with ac on for highway with a 3800 stall
my 6.7 with a 244/248 cam got 16 mpg on highway
the 4.8 setup with 230/236 cam got 19mpg with ac on for highway
my region of living isnt flat like the south.
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
412 Motorsports
it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I know and understand only one thing about cams. The bigger the cam the worse mileage you will get. Oh wait I know one more thing. I need a bigger cam.
