Default H/C 500mi road trip.

I plan on doing heads and cam over the summer, as well as take my car from the Philly area to Toronto, Canada. I've got 98.5k on the ticker right now, think it will pose any problems?

As long as you get a good tune after the h/c swap you should be good to go man.

I went from Mercersburg Pa, to VA Beach with my girlfriend, drove around and played all weekend, then drove back.....the car was a joy to drive with a good tune you'll have no problems

Plus there is nothing worse than the feeling when your hundreds of miles from home and you pull up to a red light....a worked up Honda of mustang pulls up next to you and they start reving and show boating.....then you remember you took HER Ford escort because it got better gas mileage

I more than likely will not be doing the install, I don't feel comfortable playing around with the valvetrain haha. But thanks for all the input guys!!
