Sounds like the grades (2) on my test rout 6%x3mi and 6%x12mi should be adequate to achieve a test with a reasonable margin of error.
The grades are long enough to achieve terminal velocity at gravity horsepower in neutral 75 to 95miles an hour depending on local weather conditions and configuration of the vehicle. Take note 95mph is 2.5mph faster than my engine will spin in gear(2500rpm).
This gravity drop testing is what I use to determine that the air dam was not beneficial to my configuration prior to the wind tunnel(lost speed on terminal velocity).
Gumby, stay flexible
