Darryl, given the 403's lack of torque below 48-50 mph, I usually manually downshift at about that speed if the top of the upgrade is not in sight.
But with the 3:70 final drive gears, my 403 will not lose speed on anything less than a 6% grade. It is the best performance upgrade that you can make for the money spent.

What we need is a two-speed FD. One ratio for climing hills and another for flatland with a tailwind.
