If I get behind someone going slower than 80 for even a few seconds, then I'm usually only doing 75 at the top. We both have 2-1/2" exhausts (cf 2" stock).

Ditto.

I hate running it at 3000rpm. Yet with the whole clan I average 70 (60 if I have to slow down).

Just how big is the whole clan? I'm only talking 2 people. With 2 more adults in the back I lose about 5-8kph going up the cut.

3,000 rpm is no problem if it's only a few minutes at a time. You'd no doubt want to slow down on the CocaCola to limit the revs longer term. I haven't driven that yet.

YOU GUYS CAN GO 80KM UP THE CUT! my problems are much worse than i thought, if im lucky i hit 60 at the top with high revs (3000).....owell :I

5 people total around 567 lbs.

Do between 3-3,400 up the cut.

If you go below 2,800 up the cut, your turbo will look like a granny smith red apple with hints of glowing orange.

Take a look next time you fly up there. It gets HOT !

The higher RPM's will help cool it better.

WOW!
I never knew that.
I thought the lower rpm the better.

Thanks.
