I wanted to update my saga, as of today after 3800 miles round trip to Key West FLA via the NSRA Southeast Mini National in Tampa, Titusville on the East Coast for the Space X Launch last week, and back home the car successfully made its first Long Haul trip with no major calamities. I am very pleased, ran 70mph most of the time on the interstates, turning 2450rpm with the 700r4/4:11 gears and most of the time 190-195 temp except the 2days in key West it was 85deg with humidity to match and even then it never got over 205. So the Evans coolant and Fuel Injection, BWR heads and all preformed above and beyond expectations. Oh, did I also mention we averaged 15.5 mpg for the trip. Left home on March 28 and returned April 11.
Right on! Kind of makes you tear up with pride huh?
