318 MAX fuel economy builds?

Going against the grain here, but if mileage is the primary concern it is hard to beat the lean burn set up.

If it is still working after all these years I would leave it. It leans AFR out at part throttle cruise to 17 or 18 to 1. Exactly what is needed for best mileage.
There were many issues with it even when it was new. Parts aren't reproduced that I know of.
