thanks - i deal with Web Cam Inc. - Performance and Racing Camshafts - they help me out a great deal on all my projects, both commercial and personal.

besides, if steve, lori, melissa, faith, or debbie found out i went elsewhere, i'd probably be dis-owned

I'm on a pace for 600 miles on 10-11 gallons in my 11.9 gallon tank.

Black and Green will be rebuilt over decades as parts die--until it becomes a different car. Goal is only 60-70 mpg at posted speeds. I'm not trying for highest possible mileage.

Calculators: standard deviation, Ohms Law, & drag HP losses.

Yup. To get sixty on average would be to double the EPA rating in this sort of driving, for this sort of car. Cool.
