I've logged many miles in the Rockies, west of New Kensington, including the Trail Ridge Rd, max. elevation 12,183' in Rocky Mtn National Park (pulling a travel trailer) and Mount Evans and Pikes Peak in CO. BTW, The Mount Evans Scenic Byway is America's highest paved automobile road peaking at 14,130'.
When I run along side my buddy in his 400hp Cummins I can see a major difference on steep grades, even at much lower elevations. Do we both get there......yes. But I have to keep my "energy level" up! Up >4000rpms. Although, as I've stated before, I can beat him up any onramp at sea level.

Edgray is right, the thread has been hijacked. But I must admit, I would love to see two coaches running side by side up Mount Evans and Pikes Peak in CO.
