How's that? They may not help but decreased valvetrain friction along with more valve lift, decreasing pumping losses, sure won't hurt.

Umm, I didn't say they hurt anything. I said they didn't "help" the gas mileage. Just like what you just stated.

If you are going to do that eventually, then save the money to put towards it. Of course a gear change with them 35's will do a lot more for you in the long run.

Only thing that helped mine(mpg) was fixing the plenum and the tuner to get rid of the death flash.
