Euro Hangar Rally

I can get around 250 miles. I can't really let it get to low because of the fancy fuel pump. If there was a drive, I could submit E-85 friendly stops along the way. Also not opposed to having to carry some fuel. Or just drive something less picky. Haha.

my range in the opel is about as far as your 337 kasey so if nothing else i will be stopping with you (if not sooner hehe)

250 miles isnt too bad. 200 miles inbetween stops would be fine w/ me. your gig to find stations though.

you could also play catchup

yeah i am thinking it is going to be about 200 for me since it is a 12~13 gallon tank and i was getting about 22mpg when i had just the one webber 38/38 on it so i am thinking it is going to be a bit less than that when the twin 45s go on.

i have a feeling some serious sound-deadening is going to have to go into the car in order for me to stay sane driving these distances hehe

your fuel economy wont go down if its tuned correctly. its a progressive circuit that can be tuned nicely for cruisin around. If I were you I'd redo the exhaust to be quieter at idle and cruising

[Majend]

that has to happen anyway because of the new head, thank god opelgtsource still sells a ceramic coated header for my motor which is going to save me a boat load over having one custom made

[Digital K]

might be worth running a resonator and a muffler. really isnt going to cost you power and will make it a lot more tolerable, plus induction noise is better anyways

Alex, 200 mile stops sound good to me. That would be around every 3ish hours, and with my knee that wouldn't be a bad idea lol. I'm down to work out pitstops.

Kris, not sure if having scheduled "regroups" every few hours would be beneficial or not? I'm sure the 337 can catch up either way.

ill probably be throwing on mufflers before this also, i cant drive 10 hrs with just cats :/


and im in for 200 Mile stops, i can get about 325ish usually.

I typically see 415-450 if on the freeway and depending on how im driving it (speed, etc). If I go to this Im taking the UP route no matter what, such a beautiful route!

I think sheduled stops at certain spots will work out well. anyone that needs to stop elsewhere can just catch up, or figure it out on their own. You cant babysit or it all falls apart.

Honestly 200 mile stops would be nice. Otherwise my back gets super sore.

[Digital K]

yeah 200 is quite a bit 3 1/2 hours of driving usually or so.

i hear ya, i was ok on the campwerks drive and i think that was about ~3 hours of in the car at a time which was right when my knees and back started to act up, that being said i took care of it pretty good when we got back to camp hehe

lol. Sounds good. Once we know the route we can figure out stops.
