have a safe trip

Stop for the second time to gas up. Averaged 80 to 90 mph a lot of terrain and still only managed 20.23 mpg for the second leg. Sooooo we will check it again to see what happens. Every thing is running great so far. Just over 3 hours from grand junction where we will get a hotel for the night.

I think he could do much better if he drives more conservatively, Maybe 25 + to the gallon.

Very nice! 2 questions:

(1) How are your temps? Could you tell us about what kind of temps you see and what the ambient temp and your driving style was like at that time?

(2) Do you notice any additional vibration in the upper rpm range? The issue of vibration with stiffer motor mounts was brought up in another thread, but I wanted to hear an independent opinion.

Sam,
Will an aftermarket radiator fit with this kit? Since I'm in Florida, the extra cooling would be ideal.
