All in all, respect Grant, you were a pioneer, and if I keep the car this is the route I am most likely taking.

thanks dave.

lack of torque on the highway seems like an oxymoron to me as you are usually just cruising on the highway. i have absolutely no bogging or flat spots in the torque curve that i can feel so all is well with me. if i need more power, i just drop a gear

ya, i was planning on changing it quite frequently actually. 7K seems a bit too much, probably every other or every 3rd oil change

dave, you have to drive my car to let me know what you think
