A guy in a NNBS did make me laugh today though. He was lagging along inconsistently 5-10 mph under the speed limit. Hit my dyno hill, stayed in the fast lane, sped up 10-15 mph thinking I was not going to pass him. Even without a functioning kickdown the old budget L31 350 passed him on steepest uphill portion in 3rd gear. You have already been climbing about 1/2 mile going into the steepest portion and then continue climbing another mile after it flattens out a bit. I was about 85 mph when I let out of it.
Going into the steepest portion, my mom's 2019 Titan has already dropped from 7th to 6th, then drops to 4th when it really bites hard. The 97s 383 usually unlocks the converter climbing this, sometimes it is in 3rd, depends on how much I am hauling inside of it, the speed I am going, wind, etc.
But the budget L31 was working hard, WOT at one point passing the joker and it was not pinging on 93 octane despite 10.25:1 compression, iron heads and full timing advance.
