Fun on the road

Plus with the elimination of the rear muffler, using an RMB, it sounds really cool

With the sharktuner your can toggle on or off fueling on deceleration. Off, and the burble goes away.

Wally - maybe that explains running through the mountains (on/off and coasting occasionally) did not really hurt the mileage....interesting.

Not to get another discussion going, but I have also noticed that cruising at around 75 and using Shell gas is a great combination for mine. Using Shell anywhere gets me better mileage. No hard facts, other than checking it when I fill up. There is something to really good additives it seems. At least in my case

Hey I went for my first drive this year, tonight.
Washed her, wiped her off, filled her up.
It was like sex .... I'm old

thats pretty good, heh! i'll got Max washed and cleaned up nicely the other day. it still holding up and we're going on ride today!

since the browser crashed, i came back from my ride. fun indeed!

Was off to get some take out last night....nearing a stop sign, drop to idle to burble past a speed yellow convertible 'vette with the top down...20XX, I"m guessing, pretty new. Driver, a man of substantial girth, starts pogo'ing up out of his seat saying hang on, hang on...I roll down the window, and he, with an excited look on his face says- awesome, you give me dat and you take dis! He seemed to be having-a-stroke-earnest, so maybe the vette had a salvage title or something.... I smiled and rolled on, letting the 265s creep out when the 722 hit second...
