Im not so sure about higher load accelerating in turbo cars such as mine, because Im pretty sure if you give it over a certain amount of throttle it goes to open loop. I know the boost maxes out at any more than half throttle or so above 2000 rpms. 55mph is around 26-2700 rpms in 5th so thats about the only time you have to really worry about that. Its geared pretty low (.8 5th, 3.85 final) so accelerating below 2000 rpms isnt much of a problem.
