Did we wake you Tom?

What part of my post said I lugged the engine? I downshift before the hill and go into perfomance mode to be able to keep the revs up instead of premature shifting in economy mode.

If I hold my foot on the floor going up Jelico Moutain I can hold 60 all the way up. The engine is singing, I'm making a nice speed, and the temps are nowhere near an issue. I am not going to let off the pedal because if I do I lose speed at which point I get back in line with the slow truckers who also lifted their foot.
