Just remember, depending on the specs of the cam your running, your engine may now not be operate efficiently at the new lower RPM. Turning a bigger cam motor at a lower than optimum RPM means it's running at the very bottom of it's torque curve and requires more fuel to make power. Other than the possibility of a little less engine wear and a reduction in ambient noise, the saving in fuel may not be worth the hassle of the gear change. Your call. 8)
