Even still, when I hit the Teton Pass with my setup, with the pedal being shoved thru the floor board, I could only maintain 46 mph up that grade. It is a 10% grade for 5 miles. So get whatever rear end you want but know if you get less than a 4.10 you will be going even slower over passes like this!

And I will bet your EGT temps and turbo boost were red lined. We have to stay around 45mph to keep our EGT below 1300 degrees going up Fancy Gap in VA Fancy Gap is a 6 mile 5% grade climbing 1500 feet and we do have the 4.10 gears. We are pulling about 23K GCVW
