The main straight is over 1/4 mile long, and the esses leading onto it are efectively straight and probably give you a full 1/2 mile with an entry speed in mid to high second gear, so a full third gear pull would be easily possible. And the extra load of the incline will help find any knock/ping potentials.

It is not about straight and level...

One of the dyno advantages is you can vary the load, but I don't think most tuners bother. They use the defaults. If I'm going to be racing on most any of the N. CA road courses where there are significant uphill under full throttle sections, I would sure want to tune for them...
