    i think its like 12.5:1 at which peak torque can be found usualy with a/f ratio...
    HAHA i know.. i need some fine tuning. But it still makes great power and for over 2yrs hasnt blown up....

      so could i supercharge a v6 or get a 3.8sc & get great mileage (with my foot out of it) with a very tall rear end gear ratio-rather than modifying the trans itself?

        I had our TGP to 22MPG with 75% freeway/15% spirited city/10% tuning. I was getting it better and better until it had issues this past December. I shouldn't hope upon it but I really do hope the cam is going flat so we can put in a better cam, with more torque, cruise is right above where it starts making any power so going up any hill it downshifts at least one gear. Heavy TGP with a GT3076R and a horrible bottom end torque cam doesn't go very well at 4400ft and hills

          you can get better mileage with a lot of bottom end, tall gearing, and low rpm operation. just swap in a turbo diesel with a 2.56 FDR.
