Well in my 8v92 with 4 speed I'm usually in 2nd or 3rd. Usually come down in the same gear I went up.
Basically I watch my rpms and temp pretty closely on a hard climb. When the rpms start dropping and/or the temp starts rising I downshift.
But on my 8v92 I have a direct drive radiator fan so cooling is pretty dependant on rpms.
Your cat should perform much better but remember you still have to come down safely.
