Ah, didn't catch that it was a glide. I was more curious about intercooler manufacturer..

I think that is the correct way, but I just figured 90% of the total mph. Just to check I changed input RPM from 7600 to 6840. MPH is 175.5193 vs 175.5216. I have been only going 4 places so rounding errors are evident.

Rough numbers Atomic.....very rough.

How much does a 29.5 tire grow at 2000 rpm?
