When my wife drives, we do 80-85 mph until she gets tired of driving.
The van doesn't seem to mind. Of course, I made it easier for her to
reach and maintain that speed by installing Volks-Motorsport's chip
and rocker kit. We were cruising right up hills, and even passing
tractor trailers. I listen to the truckers on the CB and I heard one
comment (as we flew by him up a hill) that he never seen one of them
thar microbuses go that fast. True story.

Later. . . . . .. Brad
