I live on the bay on the south shore of Long Island. There is bridge that spans from the south shore across the bay to the barrier island. It's about a mile or so and is a steep incline both ways to the peak in the middle. I can drop 'er in fifth at 40 and give it gas and it will pull decently hard all the way up that incline. If I did that with 3.73's I probably would have gone backwards.
