If I had gone with the first 800 or 900 miles, I would have been VERY discouraged!
Thanks Wyatt, I guess I was somewhat spoiled by the great gains the boat tail showed. I expected to see some kind of improvement but it didn't happen. That's OK, I just have to figure out what is going on down under.
