Hi,

I just got back from my long road trip. The car didn't skip a beat. Special thanks goes out to PowerHouse for engineering a great turbo kit and TTP for a rock solid tune. I'm just very happy that I didn't break down in some desert :clap: Some of the premium gas in the midwest was only 89 octane!

It's good to be back home...

According to my gauges here's what I have:
Average MPG ------ 22.3 MPG
Average MPH ------ 60 MPH
Gallons Used ------ 301.8 Gal
Total Time --------- 108:48:45

Here's the before and after mileage...

+1 on the PH turbo.

Awesome trip and pics. Alas the furthest my car goes is about 1 mile. 1/4 real fast...then another 1/4 to slow down...then about a mile back to the crew area to cool down and datalog. There's a lot to be said for keeping a car very streetable and capable of driving across country. Nice balance of power and utility.

Damn right on the +1 to PH. This is why I got this kit.

This is my only car so a streetable DD was priority #1 when I modded this car. Now my goal is to do the same trip with your 130+ trap speed. Hey, it's ok to dream.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting those up:nice: I need to get out west one of these days to check out those places in person. In mid August, my g/f took a 10 day trip out in AZ and CA and took several thousand pics from the various parks out there:D Glad to hear the Bullitt gave you no troubles:rock:

I was VERY glad lol. There were places that you did NOT want to break down. Those were the places where I kept the needle in vac.

I kept my distance when cruising. It was a promise I made to myself before getting a black car. Even then I still caught a few :mad:

Cali was beautiful.

No, I was talking about the swirls. It could use a nice polish from a pro (and NOT a body shop who usually makes it worse). :nice:

Oh. Yes it has swirls. I detailed it myself and I'm no pro.

The car was also dirty in most of the shots. Remember these pics were all taken when on-the-go from state to state.

I too wouldn't take my car to a body shop to get it detailed. I'm just getting new parts installed and minor body mods.
