I am lucky in this regard. My nightly return commute is usually pretty stable. The highway's pretty empty, and it's really easy to just set the cruise to 72 and do a good 25 mile stretch without even having to change lanes. That takes out a good number of variables, right there. Of course, outside temperature and humidity still factor in...

When I get this thing working tomorrow, I am going to monitor throttle position and manifold air pressure, in addition to intake air temperature.
