I am not sure if I caught all of the Speed Equasion messages, and someone 
might have already mentioned this recommendation.  With all of the variables 
such as tires squashing, tire slippage, shrink/swell of the tires due to 
different speeds, etc.; it is neary impossible to calculate speeds with much 
accuracy.

Why not use the old fashion speed trap equipment with two white lines?  Drive 
across these lines at specific RPM's in different gears, and measure and 
record the speeds.  Is this effort worth the time and trouble?  Probably not.
