Fuel question

how would you guys go about getting better fuel economy on a 350 WS-6 I dont what year. I was asked on another message board. Assuming its a tpi or LS series, what would you do? Modify the prom to make it run lean, because I dont think he wants to hear that i have a nice peanut camshaft he can have for free.

What would you guys do? I said 2.73's if he has decent gears, but he hasn't been back on to tell me the year of the car.

This thread has been edited to clean out rules-violating comments.

As to the topic, I'll add: Keep tires properly inflated, use synthetic lubes throughout the vehicle.

And keep his foot out of it...
