Re: Max RPM vs Max HP

Tom,

The **only** way to calibrate your speedometer is to find a stretch of 
interstate (I believe they have those in Montana) with mileposts and get 
your hands on a stopwatch.  1mile in 60 seconds = 60 mph.  Scale from 
there.  Everything else is inaccurate.  Besides this is easy and cheap.

Lots of new speedometers are not only inaccurate but inconsistent.  I 
normally use my electronic tach as my reliable speedometer.
