Sounds like a normal trip across Stevens. THat is one of the steeper pass;s here in Wa st. Tiger south of issaquah is probably one of the steeper ones, as is HWY 20 across the N cascades. You would have been doing probably 50-55 on I90 except the last part after exit 52, that last 200 yds or so is the steepest part of the climb going east any how. Hyak to the summit going west is also the steepest part. Not as steep as Stevens.
you also have to remember, with a non forced induction motor, at 4000' on stevens, you are down about 8-12% of your HP vs here at sound level where you are not normally much over 500'. North Bend is only 700 or so feet.
