One of my personal favorites is Hwy 168 from Oasis, NV to BigPine, CA, through the Westgaard Pass. Along the way you pass the Bristlecone pine forest and the road itself is quite challenging. One one

It appears most of the grinds are a bit higher duration than stock for a little more top end and have a bit more lift to maintain the low end grunt. Seems like a reasonable compromise. bs ** Bob Spid

This is blasphemy, but except for a couple of stretches (Marin to Bodega Bay, around Big Sur) I think the PCH is overrated. Half the view is (flat) water, and you're almost always stuck behind some t

The only thing that comes to mind is that you've mixed-up the wires going to the coil. One wire is from the ignition switch, it is hot when you turn the key to "start" or "run." If you have the wire
