i would bring a decent set of tools, some hose claps for coolant and boost, zip ties, extra coolant and a quart or two of oil. Maybe a set of belts just incase. oh and stay out of boost as much as you can

dude. I just made a 900 mile trip when I moved from St. Louis, MO to Charleston, SC

not one lick of trouble

my car is bone stock but had 201,000 miles before the trip. Rode 70mph whole way through. had only a 30 min. break.

The only thing that would paralyze you would be a timing belt or head gasket. All of which can be checked before leaving. If those check out, I would check all oil/coolant lines, fluids, and tires and buy a couple clamps, hoses, and fluids just in case. spark plugs and wires too?

You could always rent a car trailer from u haul because I'm sure ## not moving halfway across the country with all your stuff in your talon and are renting a truck.
