God, it's still early. I need a nap. There is no such word as "potimum" And
it's "no stress, no lug".

I am not defending driving fast. it didn't seem all that fast. The new sway
bar makes SOOOOO much difference. A lot of the sqirreling around the road was
just gone.
There was one point in the Oklahoma mountains where I went around a slower
car and I may have gone faster than I ever have. Maybe I felt close to the
sound barrier. I did not like it at all and was happy to back it off once I was
clear of the guy in the Lamborghinni.
A mechanic once told me that when the engine is happy and is running in it's
potimum RPM, it will "sing". The stress, no lug. that was Murray on the way
home.

My quick calculations: With a stock .89 4th gear, a 4.12 ring & pinion
with stock size tires (27 1/4" diameter) and no redux boxes a bus would be
traveling at 88.57 mph at 4,000 rpms. Of course I will defer to engineer Will
to check my calculations.
Denis probably has slightly smaller tires and the answer would be a little
slower; but it's still to *)(^&(&^%$ fast for a bus.
