Some of us drank a little too. Road blocks are fun, right Eric. But really, I wanna do some other stuff up there, it's just too purdy not too.

I found one thing out while in the mountains: SCd cars do not like thin air!

I also found out that Cougars with 2.5's dont like to stay in the 6,800 RPM range for 20 minutes either!!!!

I held my 2.5 around mid 5's and above the whole Skyway. Temp gauge never rose above normal spot; except when we stopped.

Hector - yeah, thin air = no go; especially for FI. Ross said he could feel a loss of power; (and he doesn't have much to lose! ) attributed to the altitude. I guess I'm just used to it lol.



As for a summer meet, all in due time. I reckon we can go on and start suggesting dates. As of right now, I have no preference as I don't know if I'll take any classes this summer or not. I'd prefer to wait a while before starting to set this next one up. Besides; maybe it'll be far enough away that I can get my headers on. The suspension fund is stagnant right now; but today is payday.

Well I was bouncing off the rev limiter the entire time and it didnt get below 6K!!!!!

i preferred to stay in 3rd gear more often, trying to keep it in second was just way over working the poor beast. i was watching my temp guage hover around the 230 !! mark when i was tryin to play in second. Not good from a timing or engine wear stand point! it was just more fun to me to use the v6 torque to pull it outta the holes

I kept it in third most the time just cuz it's easy to bog down in second. My temps would be OK except my fans don't kick on until the last moment, but they bring the temps back down quickly. I guess it's better than having fans that don't kick on at all.
