17 May - Churchvill NY - 27 ft Cougar 5th. These always pull good, running at (or above:rolleyes:) the posted speed limit all the way, the highest boost and egt readings banks recorded were 22psi and 1123. Only used 1 gallon of meth, so not a whole lot of help there. Nozzle was clogged, cleaned it out and waiting for dealership to open.

running that AIRSTREAM done the eway at 70 on moderately level ground my egts were only running 75-150 degres higher than empty. boost was only at 5 and empty it runs 4.

those squared trailers I drop down to 65 and egts run 900ish.

if it were my world I'd have a fleet of airstreams. of course i think isaid tha about wives too, and that probably wouldn't be a good idea.
