I can see how indexes of 130 could lead to it though I suppose.
Driving spiritedly on the backroads of central texas, Southern Appalachians, western New Mexico/east Arizona, and now west Texas; I have never reached limp mode. I've come close, but I've never had any need to slow down for it to cool off. I just change up a gear and keep going, problem solved.
