If they're all original, I would do the plugs, tube, and coils before the trip. All of them can be done at the same time and the entire bill will be around $200 for parts. I recently changes plugs and coils, leaving the tubes alone, and a week later started leaking oil from the tubes. Doh.

Injectors are stupid expensive (unless you upgrade to the 986.2 injectors) and a pain to do with the sai in place. Run techron or seafoam unless you think you have one leaking (oil case will real of gasoline).

Clean your MAF (with MAF fluid!). Replace the fuel filter.

Checking the vacuum on the oil case is good indicator of AOS health (5in H20 or less). Lots of people have had new AOS fail in short order, so I wouldn't prophylacticly replace that.

The rest of the stuff, just let it be.

Just my 2c.

AAA is never a bad idea before a trip...
