well, here's my pig that I tow. Anybody go to glamis taking the Interstate 8 fwy? If so, can somebody help explain why I can only average about 35 to 40 mph MAX coming up the grade? I've got no tunes yet, but have a 5 inch exhaust and an AFE stage II intake. Is this about the average speed I should be getting with no tunes coming up a steep grade? I would like to be able to maintain like 55 to 60. that's my goal.

I pulled this 100 miles, I cant remember what the weight was across the scale but it was heavy enough that I had to downshift...once.
