^haha, good advice.

So the odometer reads 200,855 miles at the start of this trip.

I probably won't be back posting till after DGRR.

So the 7 made it up there, then to the Mitty, and back home with no major problems.
Odometer reads: 202,095 miles, so that's 1,240 miles total trip.

While up there, I did replace the vac hose going from the turbo to the wastegate with a SS braided hose from advanced. The previous vac hoes was melting due to the exhaust leak.

My oil temps while boosting on the dragon, one time went to 230F, then another time went to 248F.
So while boosting on the dragon, oil temps ranged from 220F - 250F. All other times oil temps ranged under 200F.

My gas mileage was 19mpg w/o boost, and 15mpg w/boost.

I had a blast up there. It was a breeze getting up those hills with boost.
