Thanks guys. All good suggestions. I figured I could do some extra shifting at highway speeds to change up the RPMs but that will get old pretty quickly over a 12hr drive.

I think the best solution as others have said is to mix it up with some windy mountain roads, some two lane, stop frequently and make sure to do proper warm ups and cool downs. Thats the plan for now. Thanks for the advice.
