I am planning a trip up to OR, i dont live in a place where there is a lot of hills and steep grades. My question is how should i expect my GTP to perform? It is mostly up hill from where im at...anywhere from 6-10% grades

GTP will be fine..... I like to use 3rd gear when I see the boost gauge registering, but if you're doing 70MPH you should prolly keep it in D. If you find it shifting again and again, just put it in 3 until you're over the grade.

Where you going in Oregon? I'm in Portland, and we may have a club event happening if and when you're in the area. If not, I would enjoy having a soda, or whatever. Let me know.

Yeah what crimpton said. Roads are pretty decent but sometimes on a long hill my boost registers so I drop it down into 3rd.

Hope you enjoy Oregon. I love it here.
