Yea I've done the math,and your 251 won't rev. to that rpm?Have you tried it?Where you there?If you noticed,I said sustained for about 1/4mi.,thats 1320ft.How long would sustained mean w/36" tires,5.83 gears,at that rpm to cover 1320ft.?Lets see,if my calculations are correct,80mph x 5280ftper-mi.=422,400ft-hr.div.by 60min.=7040ft.per-min.div.by 60sec.=117.333ft.per sec.div. into 1320ft. which comes to approx. 11.25sec. and you find it hard to believe that the rpm required to do 80mph could be sustained for 11.25sec.???
