Running pretty strong.  I only have two issues.

1.  Bad syncro into second gear.

2. Hole in exhaust just behind the header...enoug h to give a funny sound from time to time.

Otherwise I can still get it to cruise.  It's happy at 85mph.  It's still smiling at 120mph.  It feels loose pegged at 140+mph.  Needs some ground effects I suppose.

I don't keep that up for very long.  Trips up to Mammoth, California via hwy 395 is a good place to open her up.

Enough power?  Not hardly.  Top end is fine, but not too "thrilling" off the line.  But I'm sure you know that already.

It's fun in mine when i'm coming out of 4th gear at 120, going into 5th :)

Such a stable car though, at that speed with all the work.
