Question Needs Some Tips and Suggestions

I'm here in Columbus, OH and i'm taking the trip down to F-Bod week in myrtle beach over the summer, car has 94XXX miles on it. What would some of you do to prepare for this trip, i need some suggestions since i haven't taking a long trip out of state with this many miles before. The car has bolt-ons. Thanks

Don't C any issues w only 94k. I guess jsut reverse the spare tire delete mod if u have taken it out.

I wouldn't hesitate to drive coast to coast. I purchased mine via Ebay, and drove it like 1400 miles home.

New Plugs and Wires
Seafoam the car!!! One of the best things you can do
New Fuel Filter
New PCV Valve
Check Battery and cables

Again Seafoam the car. My Trans Am has 135,000 miles on it, It still put down 333hp and 352 tq to the ground. There are alot of people on this site with alot more miles than me and the car driven alot harder. The injectors would be the least of my worries

If it's been maitained well and drives good I wouldn't worry much, get in let eer rip and have a nice cruise down with the tops out. I took mine on a 2500 mile road trip in Nov. and wouldn't hesitate to do it again, just bring a pillow for your lower back
