    Hey, no problem with questions...  ;)

    This is the second year running this setup on this trip...  I got between 18-19 MPG on the FWY legs... kept all my records...  The gearing is standard 727 gears, 30% reduction in OD and 3.73 in the rear.  :)

    The EFI has no issues with elevation changes...  I had power to climb hills and never "felt" like it was having a problem.

    I actually did 20 last year but was drafting semi's the entire way... didn't do that this year because I read the truckers don't like it.

    Honestly... the car needs a tuneup and I could play around more with the EFI if I wanted to...  maybe I could have squeezed that 20 MPG out of it again.

    The reality is though... I'm basically driving a shovel through the air... not much aero to help...   :smilielol:

    Enjoy!

    haha im aways from the powertour but i like the idea of the CarCraft Anti Tour! my challengers got 4:11s in it right now so crusing is a little rough i blew the 3:55s last year and didnt want it sitting then the car liked the rpms of the 4:11s so i havent taken them out haha looking to upgrade to a taller tire here in a couple month but the cuda just took a big chunk of change on the rear suspension!!! details on that soon you guys will be surprsed at what i got.
