well i made it, pretty uneventfull, 911 ran strong all the way cruising at 70-80, cht temps were consistant, oil temp raise a bit when i took the targa top off in NC (extra drag?).
my idle is a bit screwy right now, it's either the mixture is out of adjustment from the new o2 sensor or the idle control valve needs cleaned.....not sure which yet.
only 2 other glitches was i was playing with my power seat and it wouldn't go back down, so i did a rest stop dismantle/reassemble of the seat switch to get it back where i wanted it, and my driver side window fell out of it's track, popped the rs panel off and reset it in the track, so add these couple things to more things to do

best i could tell i was getting between 23-25mpg, which isn't bad for a 23 year old porsche with 127,000 miles on it

i've got some camera phone pics i need to load up.......more to come
