    I have since I was a kid. Thats the reason I spent all the money on taking classes like Aerodynamics and Fluid Dynamics. But I just decided that I would take a semster off to join the Marine Corps Reserves and have them pay for it (didn't work out because of my previously blown out knee). ASU in the time I took that one semester off changed graduation requirements that I would have to go to school for another whole year making it 7 years of school (full time) for my BACHELORS. I just can't afford that with the car (just the payments and insurance) and living alone.

    That being said I hope to get my Private license in a couple years here cause I do love flying.

    If you want to fly for a career bite the bullet now. You can have all the toys you want when your pulling down a 6 figure income.

    IF firefighting falls through there is always the Pan-Am school about a mile from my apartment.

LMAO i dont have time to e-argue. you say 2 different things BTW a converter has shit to do with it and will only hurt your MPH. unless the magic converter changes your gear ratio lol. OMG.

    and no i didnt factor in tire growth but according to your MPH you gave at 7200 and 157 or whatever it would have to gromw 2.5". maybe it does i dont know, if it does i need one for my di*k.

    but you know what, read your first post and post #32 see how different they are? lol. 7200 at 153mph.......errrr wait, 7500 at 152 mph.

    sorry thats all the time i have, i have a physics final to get ready for.
    Obviously you have never made an Error or a typo. However I would have though with your education that you could have figured that out for your self. I guess I gave you too much credit.

    and that is not what you quoted either

    So would it be safe to say you are trapping a little closer to 7000 for the 147 speed? I factored in 1" of tire growth.

    oh ive made many. just dont go off saying im calling you stupid and whatever else you said, cause i wasnt. all i said is that it didnt make sense, math didnt ad up. maybe your running wheels that arent as wide and your tire is growing on the big end more then usual. i dont know, that why i brought it up.

    btw i dont consider myself well educated or smart. there is always someone that is smarter then you, so i keep an open mind. maybe they do grow 2.5" on the big end, maybe they dont. you shouldnt take any post or idea that is different then yours as a threat. youll never learn anything new. JMO.

    Puhleeze!

    I even forgot about the tire growth. Good catch, Burntire.

    Anyhow, are you getting your original question answered, Burntire?

    Too much drama for me here. I'm out.
