: : : Has anyone done any testing regarding the engine rpm at different speeds?What is the "best" rpm for a babbit engine? It is very frustrating on a tour when one person refuses to drive over 40 mph ( which is relative ) because he fears the engine will explode due to the high rpm.Since most speedometers are not accurate, it seems that a "tach-check" would be good test for most cars. : : : : Paul, well spoken, I would fit comfortably in your mirror hour after hour.... : God Speed Under 50. : The Model A Fool.
