X
differential ratio) X the RPM X 60) divided by 63360.
At high rates of speed the tires grow in diameter increasing the
circumference. =
HOW MUCH??? you say, I have no idea but the amount will create an
insignificant speed change. a 1 inch increase in diameter equals a 4%
increase so I guess it really don't matter......
What you need is an accelerometer to measure the work the engine is doing=
as it accelerates the car and work back wards.
To the responders to my howdee intro, tanks. I tried spitbits again
