Climb every mountain, ...

[fred89sp]

I would not be surprised to see 1050 on my 89SP. Your boost of 15 psi
is great.

My last BIG endevour was the Calif. Tehachapi pass from Bakersfield
on up to where the windmills are. I pushed the coach as hard as I
could and saw Pyro reach 1050 at times and boost 15+. Water and Oil
temps were never over 190F Tranny was also in limits(95C). I passed
almost every truck on that climb.(Towing my jeep wrangler). Yet I
keep watching the grades and reading about them if they are listed.

grades, yet I saw all kinds of busses and motorhomes going right in
there. WHAT is the limit that a Blue-Bird can do?? Am I too timid or
over cautious in generalor is a 10% grade too much? I would love to
hear of some of your experiences.
