Anybody run the Dragon Cherohala loop? 120 mile loop that might be fun. I'm looking at doing either this or a significant portion of the moonshiner. Thoughts? Suggestions?

[ajs_saturn]

We've done Cherohala before and it's a nice cruise. Lengthy. The moonshiner also looks long. You cruise part of it going to the resort we are staying at. Looks like it ends in Georgia. Not sure I'd want to go that far but maybe we can find some attractions along the route. We did that last time and it was a lot of fun.

I'll be going to Asheville on Saturday but I doubt many of you will want to come with for it

I'd probably be down for a little cruise (nothing too crazy the ride down is long enough). I strategically had other females come along this year so Melissa would have someone to hang with if we decided to go out

Definitely starting to get antsy....next two weeks are gonna drag. Added another thing to my list. Gonna try to get my a/c working for the trip. Was gonna go without but got caught in a rainstorm yesterday and it just wasn't fun lol.

[alexofnazareth]

Stuck packing all my shit to move to Indiana next month. Also working to fix the rear sway bar on the Vue.

So not having much fun thinking about the dragon yet.

im down for the moonshiner on my way home lol probably the route ill be taking anyways

The wagon is struggling to stay cool with these 95* days we've had. It didn't over heat but if I wasn't driving like a grandma it would have. So all of my focus has shifted to that. Hopefully I can figure out a solution, I'm hoping it's something stupid like the thermostat (can't remember how old it is) but I swear last summer it did just fine so I'm not sure why this is happening.

I found that I was over 200 at all times while moving above 40mph since the timing advance at low loads wasn't advanced enough causing engine loads to be higher to maintain speed [limp mode 10* adv.]

So you're saying add some timing? So the engine doesn't have to work as hard?

Yeah, more advance will help it work less/run more efficiently. How much, Im not sure. The other guys who actually got their car running would know better. lol
I think the stock car runs like 30 to 40* in cruising situations.

Still waiting to get my car back. Now the body shop said maybe this Tuesday. Some parts I ordered on May 10 have not shipped yet. However they sent me an invoice so I'm going to assume they're shipping soon. I might get all of that just in time. I won't count on it. This who thing is just getting frustrating. Still excited to go!

I think I'm definitely in the 30* range. But I don't have my laptop with me at the moment. I can definitely throw some timing at it and see what happens. I know rule of thumb peak timing is to occur around 3k RPM.

I did order a turbo blanket, wrap and I'm installing a new OEM Saturn water pump I had. Ordered an ACdelco thermostat. Going to the yard today to see what I can find as far as air dams and such.

Run with no hood.
or let AJ blow on it.

[ajs_saturn]

No hood is more effective. I could squat on top though and act as a hood scoop.

In previous years the best time to hit the dragon is early morning or late evening. Least amount of traffic and usually no cops.

That being said I'll probably be getting up early each morning to hit the dragon except for whichever day we decide to hit the skyway.
