Interesting observation about finding better hill climbing ability running slightly richer, Justin. Maybe that is why I always felt the S and J engines in our Clasco and Royale made for wonderful driving machines for scampering around the west where mountains are a part of every trip. As I reported several times after returning from long adventures we rarely needed to downshift even on long grades yet I never allowed the engines to go to WOT (kept vacuum above 4") and didn't allow speed to drop below 45 mph.
