I would imagine I could easily get better mileage now on a trip under the same circumstances, due to my engine mods.

Better mileage with engine mods, maybe, but now you're hauling a 'beastly' rear bar
I'm going to make the same run again, the week before Thanksgiving, perhaps not with 200 lbs. stuffed in the car. I want to make a change and see if it matters, will report if anything significant happens. I'll boost the air from 40 to 44ish as well.
