2:30 - Cold start with as many items putting load on electrical as possible
3:15 - 20-30mph
15:00 - 40-60 mph
5:00 - Stop and idol before shut off and restart

Toughest part was finding roads with no stop signs or cars pulling out in front of you. Key was to keep RPM below 3000 and speed below 60.

Good luck - glad it worked for me as I didnt want to re-install cats and flash back to stock or mess with O2 extenders, etc.
holy cow
trying to driving under 60 mph and under 3k for 15 minutes was so difficult
i went on the freeway around 9:30pm ...
got tailgated, had jackasses cut me off, buzz by me when the lanes are merging ... terrible drivers out there

hopefully i did everything correctly so my car is ready now
