So... I think I'm leaving it alone.
I was considering a cam swap due to subpar performance at altitude( I know nothing about carbs). But not anymore.
I drive back to the Tyler Texas area from Colorado Springs today.
The further I got down in elevation the more she breathed.
I had it loaded down, the entire spare engine (500 pounds?), about 300 pounds of tools and gear, and another 150 of personal items all stuffed inside with the rear seat folded forward.
After I got to around 800 ft in elevation she started to tear down the road. I was passing everything but the gas stations.
I stopped checking mileage after it initially recorded 7.82 MPG ouch.
Avg speed was around 78-80 and she held those speeds uphill.
A guy in a newer expedition tried to cut me off before a lane merged we both gunned it and The Flying Toaster just walked away.
I am extremely impressed with the power and fun factor of these motors. I just need to find another one now
I will be adding a 2,000 stall though. Not because I need to, but because I want to roast tires and make launches really aggressive.
