Drove from Virginia to Indiana to visit kids, car ran great and got 20+mpg. Pretty good for a 3600lb car. Did get real hot in traffic jam(was 90+ outside)temps got up to 230 w/ac on, had to cycle ac on/off a few times to get temps down was a 2 1/2 hr backup . On the way home had a little trouble w/fuel pump. Hose btwn pump and sending unit split and I lost fuel pressure, could barely idle. Limped in to a Walmart and found a inline fuel filter kit w/the correct hose size pieces in it at Midnite no less. Glad I had cut a access hole in trunk to get at pump. Lifesaver.

 

This might make you feal better. I used the Walbro supplied hose and after a 3500 mile trip I went and inspected a few things. I noticed that very same hose had ballooned out. I replaced it and my pump is a little quieter. Not free wheeling anymore.
My fuel milage was 18 in the moutains and 23 on the road. Mine's all stock except the headers.

I did notice pump got quieter also.

 

Not that it is comfortable, but if mine starts to get hot I turn on the heater. It seems to be just enought to bring it back down. I am planning on installing a four core radiator this winter.
