The ERA did very well. It runs cool, never above 200 even idling in heat. Handles smooth and stable blasting past 100mph. I think gas mileage is averaging near 13 even with hard highway cruising (some short bursts of near-WOT) but I will check for sure when I top it off again. I would not believe this except Parkers' 521 monster is getting 15 or better on highway crusing at times.

I had run through the solid lifter valve lash settings a week ago, and have it set a bit tighter than spec. by .003-.005, but it purrs along.

So best I can tell we put about 130 miles in for the day.

Jim Jacobs - how is Snotty running now that he is out of re-wiring jail?
