Hello from Texas
Well everyone I made it in one piece to San Antonio. The car was Flawless all the way down averaging an amazing 340-350 miles a tank. Usually filling up 13 1/2 gallons. I never got a chance to dynamat the interior so it got a bit annoying the loud noises coming from underneath. I also stopped in Fort Worth to see Jason from Texas Drivetrain and let me say that only in Texas can you stop in get your trans rebuilt and beefed up and back on your way in 6 hrs. The guy was an animal!! The tranny shifts amazing what a difference. I was breaking traction all the way to 3rd gear. And for the price I couldnt believe it. I even added his own stage 2 Diamond clutch that is his personal design that he built its a cross between street and strip and let me say I Love it. Right after I left the shop I drove 285 miles to San Antonio and didnt miss a beat. Guys he is definately worth it Check him out. Getting my rear done in a couple of weeks by him. He has had a few features in HPP and he also has his own Master Clutch Cylinder thats cheaper and better then the Tick. Check him out guys will keep you posted on the rear!!

You have to go see the Alamo and do the river walk if you can fit it into your plans.

Nice! Glad the trip went well, AJ! You have a million speakers in that car, you could easily have drowned out the road noise!  And the car definitely seems healthy, 350miles a tank in cammed car is great; gotta love the 6-speed
