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.

(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.
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.
