Dont rev so slow as to bog on shifts, struggling to regain speed makes as much heat for much longer than a higher RPM pull and a smooth shift. Make the most of your inertia.
CA 17 I can pull in 5th, 3000-3400 even on a pretty hot day. If I get blocked, I have to be careful getting back up to that speed, even on a much cooler day, and ike I said earlier, as long as my EGTs are under 1200, never a problem.
My fan mostly seem s to kick in before the gauge starts to rise, I feel it about 1/8 mile(I think) into most of the steeper high speed hills here, pretty distinctly drop maybe 5HP.
