    assuming its in proper tune, and running well then i would say its good right there. but opening up the exhaust and a better carb often help. i get about the same when i drive nice in mine. the 22r actually bumped it up a bit. but i dont really clock it anymore. my highway record was 31.5 doing about 65

    Hey Coleslaw21,

    Can you take a picture of your engine wiring inside near the engine? Where the wire harness branches off into the starter, oil gauge, etc. ?

    Please read my post in Electrical/wiring.
    Someone cut the wire harness, and I need help!

    Thanks!
