Actually no I don't, which makes what you're saying all the more embarrassing for you.

I cannot believe you are still arguing this. The only thing that will change your RPM to MPH relationship while driving is two things:

1) Changing gears (duh)
2) Tire growth or compression

qkslvrz was only illustrating point #2 and it is the same thing I said earlier.

I can't believe this is even an issue! You spread so much bad information on this site it isn't even funny, 2000BSME.

I mean, the link you provided doesn't have any variables for drag, etc... It's a gearing calculator. What are you trying to show? That by changing gears or tire size your speed in each gear will change? That's elementary and that is not even what we are talking about....

Dude. I race NHRA and IHRA. You're a lube tech. Get real.
