my coasting distances have gone berserk. On a 0.6 mile coast from 70 to a stop light, I used to just coast up to the stop light. Now I'm going 40 MPH at the light and have to jam on the binders. Hence, next time I start my coast farther out


Can it coast all the way across Illinois?


I, too was wondering about the steering affect (alignment witchery).


At speeds under 65 MPH, my engine is now normally aspirated - zero boost.

EGT stays in the happy zone: <600 degrees F (pre).



Wild . . . .


We gonna get some weight stats (empty and loaded) for a range? Curious minds want to know . . it currently weighs 7,900-lbs, and generally ranges to over 9,000-lbs?


I've been wanting to come to TX to talk aerodynamics with the guru.


North Texas would be about half the distance from Indiana to South Texas. Better charge the A/C back up if it isn't between November and April.

Keep it coming. I hope you'll think on doing some video. A-B per cab noise would be cool. As would some shots from other cars showing how far that thing can roll. I'll have to break some rules about cheering for Fords.
