I put 1280 miles on the GTO yesterday and today (took the really long way to SF - through Minnesota and the southern part of North Dakota. The car is running flawlessly and the 80 MPH speed limit in SD made those miles go faster!

Thanks! I assume you'll be able to give a really good evaluation of the parts after the trip is over!! My dad has a 70 Chevelle that currently has stock discs up front and is seriously lacking in the braking department. Two years ago I did camaro discs in the back and a Wilwood master and it's better but not great.

Enjoy the trip!
