Highway T is a decent route. There are a few 200+/- elevation changes too.

There are not many large hills out here, I'm right where the plains start but some of these little roller coaster roads we have, make for a fun drive. Roads that go left and right are fun, but roads that go up and down while going left and right are more fun, even at the posted limit.
Yeah, the topographic feature is built into google maps. Just select "map" view then on the "more" button/pull down, check mark "terrain". Easy as can be.
94 is decent too, but a lot of people cruise on this road, and it leads to a lot of the wineries, so lots of drunk drivers in the late summer / fall.

Rick, if ever go East on one of your drives try FM49 out of Mineola till dead ends just into Wood County. It takes you along North edge of Holly Lake and south edge of the Trammel Crow family holdings. Elevations changes, sweepers, bridges and only one very small town in like 30+ miles. Our family owned a farm on that road for about 35 years and starting with my first car in like'64, a Corvair Spyder it was my challenge. Over years did it in 65 & 68 Pontiac GTOs, Corvette, Porsche 914, Porsche 944 and a few others. Have not done since about '01 but bet it's still a good one. Watch for cows out of fences and farms that hold title to the road,or act like it anyway.

Yep, worked on it all day today. Sorting out the new exhaust and the Tial with mounting plates. Never heard this before but swear looks like need to grind a nice size nip out of the torque tube front mount to get it in right. I'll mess with that some more right after Christmas. Top side is about sorted and ready for intake except for seem to have misplace the sleeve that goes on one of the reference sensors. Have new bracket and new sensors from Paragon but sleeve missing. fun.
Next is sorting out the new vac lines (Lindsey kit) and understanding how to wire and configure my Vitesse kit. Loaded the piggyback using a 12 bat and lap top but now the real deal starts. My buddy was dealer tech up through 90 so knows the cars but not current mods. He's a flat air cooled junkie. Like I said, shooting for a January start up.
