Impressive level of detail subscribed just got a personal best of 3.61g/100mi 100mi no aero mods 8mi costing engine on the rest cc set to 55mph.no EOC I crested Bolder hill pass Summit @55mph 825egt and went to neutral egt was 500°f for the first 1.5 mi slowly droping EOC would kill my turbocharger in no time as the egt will rise to match the glowing 800°f exhaust manifold and turbine housing from pulling 800EGT for 4+ mi . Plus an automatic transmission @ 85+mph and EOC for 4mi ×3 passes each200mi round-trip to the VA = trans failure...

Slowmover do you have an EGT gage if so do you notice a coalition betweenEGT and psi boost. I run a fast responce k-type thermocouple moves as fast as a tachometer sinitve enough to Sinise the ac compressor's 25°f load at idle and 50°f for being in gear.

Duse your trans use a TV cable (Throttle Valve)if so try adjusting it . My 91 D-250 took 4 notches to pull the pass in OD@55mph. Now it downshifts @850°f EGT instead
of 650°f. I can hold 55mph in the flats @500°EGT compared to 650 EGT @65mph I need to get a trans temp gage befor tomany 55mph passes
Gumby stay flexible
