Thanks. I mean that.

I'm an old gear head. I like to try things. I built a 383 back in`75 that dyno'd 450bhp. The RV will never be that but the same quest remains ingrained. Next run will be from western NC to north FL. Let's see how that works out. I'll post the an updated graph if it interests people.
