Well, just got back from CFest VI -- the car did great -- avg 20.5 mpg -- the ONLY issue I had was sitting @ a dead stop in Arkansas for 45 minutes -- then the temps (oil, trans, engine) kicked up -- sitting there @ a dead stop was 118* -- yep, it was HOT, had to roll down the windows and kick on the heater to cool it down -- wife was not thrilled, but that worked to keep the temps in line -- so, for this kind of heat, looks like I'll need to get a bigger radiator to handle that -- not sure which brand, but I'm sure several will do (Ron Davis, AFCO, CSF, Mishimoto, etc.). Will be looking for a 'direct' fit so I don't have to 'redo' anything. May need to look into water wetter also... Outside of that, it was an amazing trip -- car performed great and the LSA Supercharger made it an enjoyable cruise there and back!
