Hi All,

Finally getting my 89 240 back together this week with a new head gasket. I was thinking of replacing the stock M camshaft with a turbo cam. I've heard some conflicting reports on this swap. I like the idea of an improved bottom end, but I don't really want my fuel economy to suffer. Some have suggested that fuel economy would improve, others say not. My 240 is an automatic and I drive it pretty easily, so higher RPM results are not really an issue for me. Comments on the swap are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
