Default Traveling Question

I plan on putting the bird on the road in a couple days and wonder if it would be okay. The furthest I have driven it since the install of the cam and stall last year had been an hour. The journey i'm gonna embark on is about 10 hours. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. When it was stock I drove it long distances with no problem but some people say that driving a modded car long distances is not good. Thanks guys

... i would do it...

of course this is not based on anything solid or factual... if its fine to drive for an hour i dont see why it would not be fine to drive for 10 im guessing mostly highway miles...

If you have a stall and no trans cooler. I would suggest that you keep the cruise speed below 70. If you do have a trans cooler, no worries!
