so my car is running pretty good now, after I fixed the recent crank pulley issue. There are 2 other issues that I can think of that might be bad to take a trip on, which is about 310 round trip miles. 1) Boost leak city...I will have to pull the motor to fix a few of the leaks, which I don't have time to do with school, and other more important things. 2) The car will intermittently lose all power, and the gauges and all lights will shut off, but the car never actually dies. It only does this under boost, and under vacuum it has never done this.

What do you think? It's all highway driving, with only maybe 5 minutes of stop and go once I hit Lexington. Do you guys think I'd be ok?
 
I actually am getting ready to go on a 550 mile trip up to north Cali from south Cali. I've fixed just about everything and it is running excellent except for one issue with Phantom Knock. But I plan on being easy with it and such. Everything maintenance wise is in tip top shape and i have a logger and a full set of tools to take with me, so wish me luck.
 
That's right! And I eventually hope to install some teeth and scales on my car that are made with consummate V's! I only learned recently that I spelled the name wrong. Its apparently trogdor.

Yes it's Trogdor the Burninator.

And depending on costs, i'm going to take this car. It's running great, idk about that power loss though, i'm going to change out the ground wire to the firewall and have the alternator tested tomorrow.
