Random thoughts for the day

I took the SHO to the outer banks last summer from NE OHIO.  It was about 2000 miles round trip. It was nice having all that torque going through West Virginia with a full trunk/back seat.

I would personally try to disable the meth kit before making a trip like that,just for precautionary measures1)running out of methanol ,2)hot summer months combined with unlimited,extended driving,with extra heat transfer =more strain on engine and especially on the meth kit,3)Bad gas from different states could affect performance,made two 2400 miles trips and felt the overall lack of performance due to the poor quality fuels in some states,and the long term durability and progression of the meth kit to function properly would lead me to be more hesitant on making such a long trip.Z
I'd rather have the meth to protect against super hot boost temps in the mountains and desert. I will be putting alcohol in the fuel to combat the random bad gas but I'll try to get to a shell station on each fill up.

As for the kits durability, I am not concerned at all about it. I have the pump mounted with plenty of shock protection as well as using braided lines.

I'd like to think everything will hold together but there is only one way to find out. ::)

That is quite impressive...perhaps a little bit of a factory freak going on. What track was this accomplished at?

You're too kind my friend!

The congrats is greatly appreciated, as I'm just trying to perfect my visits to the track each time I go.

Without the help and wealth of knowledge from you guys on the forums, I'd be lost. So this is a time we should all be proud of for the platform.

Thanks guys. I took 3 CAI'S on this day. All had best times within .02 of each other. Write up in the works.

Here's a video I found of the day on YouTube. I run right at the 2 minute mark and a little into the 25th minute. 60' times were 1.77 on the stock RSA'S.
