I noticed that Frank says 100mph = 6300 rpm, and I got 100mph = 5900 rpm. Wow, big difference. I wish I could get a tranny with an even better ratio, to cruise at a significantly lower rpm. Bigger tires would help, too. I do know, however, that my speedo does read a few mph high. Bentley says there is also a built-in % below actual. There is a speedo shop in town that will check it for $25, I should go get "tested". Either way, the Tiico flies! Bill Marshall 85 Vanagon GL/ Tiico Phoenix AZ |
