Re: Carbs, Mountains, fuel/air mixture... lets talk
Andy, Your two steepest climbs are going from Issaquah (200ft) to the top of Snoqualmie pass (3010 ft) right after you hit I-90 in about 40 miles. Another 100 miles or so from Vantage (mile marker 137 elevation 360) to the top of the plateau (mile marker 147 - elevation 1060). After that you will not really notice a thing. I just did that run last week. Seattle to Missoula and did not even remark about the Coeur d' Alene to Missoula leg. Coeur d' Alene (2187 ft) to Lookout Pass (4738 ft) is nearly 90 miles with an elevation gain of about 2551 ft...I did not really notice it that much. You can coast 104 miles from Lookout Pass down to Missoula (3200 ft). You climb from Missoula up to Butte (5549 ft) the highest city on your route in 118 miles. It is all downhill from there to Columbus.

Re: Carbs, Mountains, fuel/air mixture... lets talk
I'm sittin' here at 8K high in the Rockies - down at the tail end of the chain in New Mexico - and am pretty sure we're drinkin' water that runs all the way down here from Lake Louise up around Banff - so am thinkin' it must be uphill all the way to the top end of the chain - and that must mean some really high passes up north - even too high maybe for a Chev BB. Maybe Longhorn Man should re-think his route and take a more southern path - then we could host him down here in the low country.

Re: Carbs, Mountains, fuel/air mixture... lets talk
CCCC that 69 Longhorn we had went up through the Rogers pass at about 4500 ft. The village of Lake Louise is about 5000 ft. The water you're drinking comes from up above then where I went skiing many a time in my younger days. Ya know skiing and beer drinking go hand in hand and beer drinking and having to take a leak are pretty much synonymous. I often wondered where all the yellow snow ended up

Re: Carbs, Mountains, fuel/air mixture... lets talk
Good facts there StingRay, and good skiing too, but those are Canadian altitudes you are citing - so who knows how high? Hey - can't figger' out what kind of a "mouse" yer talkin about. We have deer mouses and field mouses up/down here, but no synono mouses so far.

Are you taking 90/94 across?
if so, once you get past the ID/MT border, it's flat flat flat... As you pass through Minneapolis, Feel free to stop by and take a break ![]()

Re: Carbs, Mountains, fuel/air mixture... lets talk
You could take a 5gallon gas can of E85 and use that in case you notice any odd changes, it will lean out the A/F a little since to run on straight E85 you need a 6 - 8:1 AFR. mix it no more than 70%gas/30%E85 to be safe, its also 105 octane rated so dont worry about pinging, it will run slightly cooler too.
