    The "easy crusing" method would make it easier for me since the car's inspection was up in 2002. The garage I go to is 15 miles away from me. Going from 30-50mph 10 times is one thing if a cop sees you, it's a whole other deal if the car is not inspected either
    I see your point though. I'd like to seat the rings first time out, then get it right down to the shop to be inspected. I have a back road in mind I should be able to do it on with out pissing off too many people behind me or catching johnny laws eye.

    One more question. What is the max RPM you'd be comfortable hitting while seating the rings?
    It's just a stock, 8.5:1 comp., 350 SB.
