Damn scary!

Re: Potential Speed Calculator
I dialed in a conservative 5000 rpms, and got 148 MPH. Wonder if my bias plys are up to the task? I wonder if my heart is up to the task???

Huh!! Just for giggles I put in some numbers from an old altered drag car I once owned. We used to go through the lights at 6500-7000, with 4:88 gears, and a 30 inch slick. It came up NaN, whatever that means.
