[QUOTE=Johnny 5;32427]It would be nice if there was a way to hold the cvt in mid shift so the motor could rev to max rpm. Like a low and high range. QUOTE]

Try the 2500lb (red) contra spring. this will prolong the upshift slighty but more importantly allow downshifts at a faster rate. When you aproach a climb back off the gas a touch to allow a down shift to occur then power up. With the right timing you can approach a climb at speed then get that lower ratio needed to get over the top. Back off the gas too soon you'll be back in top gear before you finish the climb. too late you'll loose momentum and traction.
