Anyway, on the trip back yesterday, I noticed that Wyoming had just changed the speed limit from 75 to 80 on most of my path the day before.

On top of that, he just ran a higher than normal tire pressure.

The C4S ran perfectly, steady 185�F, not a single issue.

Suggestion
A few years back in my Turbo I left Amarillo heading east on I-40 and was running 10mph fast.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just returned from my annual summer trip to SW Montana from Colorado to spend a week where I grew up. Straight shot up I-25, then hang a left on I-90. Nice 830 mile drive, each way. Lots of nice, open places to really open the car up when the urge strikes you.
Anyway, on the trip back yesterday, I noticed that Wyoming had just changed the speed limit from 75 to 80 on most of my path the day before. Not much, but every little bit helps.
And you didn't post any pictures of your travels for the rest of us
I wish it was 75 here, 70 is the highest I've seen. Sounds like everything went smoothly then?
Wyoming's nice, but it ain't all open. I got pulled over on I-70 in the western part of the state. Managed to avoid a ticket thank goodness.
Just reminding those that don't travel that often in states with wide open spaces that one can still get a ticket if he's not very very careful, or very very lucky.
My friend and I drove through Wyoming on I-80 on our way to run the Pony Express in his car 10 years ago. As we were poking along between Cheyenne & Laramie, we were passed by a guy on a quad. Seriously. As luck would have it, we pulled in next to him at the gas station and I absolutely had to ask him how the heck he gets away with riding a quad on the highway. According to him, only lights and mirrors were required to plate the vehicle (I use that term loosely). On top of that, he just ran a higher than normal tire pressure. After explaining all this, he said with a smile that proudly displayed his remaining teeth, "Ain't Wyoming Great?".
Indeed it is.
Same around here. I had to laugh at my cousin that recently went to Germany and was bragging about how he went over a 100mph there. I told him he didn't need to go all the way there just to go that speed. lol
ECS Tuning - yes, everything went smoothly. The C4S ran perfectly, steady 185�F, not a single issue. An excellent road-trip car, except for trying to pack all of my girlfriend's crap in!
Macster - you are right, you do have to be careful and a little lucky, you can still get a ticket for sure. There are a lot of long straights where I feel I can see that there are no cops hiding, and so some higher speed blasts. It's always a gamble, but so far I've won and had a great time doing it.
Ck986 - I don't know that you can count on the 10mph rule anymore. I set my cruise control (when not playing) at 85, and passed cops without issue. That is true 85, had to calibrate my speedo with my GPS. It reads 3-4 mph fast, regardless of speed over 30. So 88 indicated is 84 or 85 actual.
Not in a Porsche, at least based on my experience. A few years back in my Turbo I left Amarillo heading east on I-40 and was running 10mph fast. This was in daylight. (Night time limit is 65mph and *strictly* enforced.) I was not passing that many cars and a few were passing me. It was a light traffic time of day and it is easy to stay in the right lane except when necessary to pass slower traffic.
Anyhow, I got pulled over -- I was sick and had forgotten to turn on the V1 -- and I asked for a warning but the trooper said it was required that he give me a ticket going 10mph over. Shoot, he could have cited about a zillion other cars and pickup trucks all running 10mph over (or more) but the Turbo sticks out like a sore thumb.
Anyhow, my advice is you can drive 5mph, 10mph, any number of miles over the limit you your heart desires and your brain thinks is "safe" but you have no real cushion. It is up to the officer's discretion and a speeding Porsche with out of state plates? You're going to get a ticket.
Texas has probation before adjudication and by phone I signed up for this and 6 months later -- with no more tickets anywhere -- and for IIRC $75 fine the ticket was taken care of with no points on my license.
God I love Texas. (Well, except where that Texas state trooper patrols on I-40 a few miles east of Amarillo.)
When it comes to "limit" I use a different rule. +/- 10%. So the amount that I would go over is based on speed and so far, I've had the CHP pass me by even though I was technically over the speed but within limit. Of course that's when I'm cursing to work.
When I drive my Porsche, I have frequent bursts of way over the limit.
I agree with Macster on the out of state Porsche thing. I was running about 15 over on I65 just south of Louisville Ky and was being passed like I was sitting still. But in a black out of state Porsche with the wing up - boom $375 contribution to the lovely state of Ky.
"Long straights where I feel I can see that there are no cops hiding" reminds me of a story an engineering department manager I worked for told me. He was on his motorcycle out on 95 highway -- I can't recall if it was the section between i-10 and I-40 or I-40 and 93 (I've driven both sections). The road is pretty straight, one can see for miles in the distance, and lightly traveled. Well, used to be I haven't been there for around 10 years. Anyhow, he headed north and found a good spot to open the motorcycle up. As he was blasting down the road at who knows what speed he passes a clear spot off the side of the road in the sage brush with a vehicle with official markings on the side. The coworker was going so fast he didn't know what the official markings were but decided what was done was done, so slowed down and continued on to a point where there was a gas station and small diner. He stopped and went in to have a bite or maybe a cup of coffee. A few minutes later in walked the sheriff who walked over to the coworker and said in his best good old boy voice "Better slow that thing down, son." and then walked away.
About the only way you can be reasonably sure the road ahead is clear is to have a buddy drive it and scout it out and then call you via phone or walkie talkie and give you the all clear. Even then you have to worry about some rancher pulling out from a nondescript side road -- dirt usually -- or a wild animal darting out.
