I was driving down the highway and i started to wonder if my speedo is accurate. So im thinking that at certain rpms on level surface, going at a constant speed, there should be certain mph. In other words velocity is a function of engine rpm.
Is this possible to compute?
How would you relate the rpm to the speed? I think youd have to relate the rpms to the gear ratio and then to the final drive then use the circumferance of the wheels.
ive got a 1987 245 with a 5 speed manual, no over drive.
