6000 mile Extra HP boost/I say its real!

Took a trip to Santa Fe New Mexico.
Drove the beast. Between 5500 and 6200 miles something happened. Mucho more power. I would say that the throttle and timing allowances have something to do with it.
It also returned 20.8 mpg at about 90-100 mph.

On highway 285 i averaged 130mph and bumped the the 171 mph limit consistantly.


I love this car!

get it started!

wow, another seat o' the pants experience. Mine was similar, and I have heard it a lot from others.

Can't really prove it though. I will be back at the strip this winter with 12000 miles instead of 1500. We'll see!
