Have pretty much stayed out of it for the trip. I jus drove a constant 70-80. However, OAT's have been high, density altitude has been high and I'm pulling mountains. So we are in Denver now, so we will check the milage on flat ground. I have been running a very high oil temp at times. In the 240-255 range. I want to see what happens when I'm not climbing hills.

See post above but the temps have been running on average 100 F outside. No extra vibration while driving really. Just pure enjoyment to drive!

Sam has one he is working on that I got to see first hand. It is a work of art. I will be going this route next year.

Agreed
All in all, sam and the crew at GTM are top notch in my book. Even though I was a pain in SAMs azz at times, he remained professional at all times and that professionalism carries over into their work. I am very impressed with this kit and the quality that went into it. Sam and GTM will continue to have my business as far as I'm concerned.
