LOL

I do have the aluminum idler. I changed the gearing this weekend to try to better keep the front end on the ground (the FLM setup helped a lot), this thing is really flying now, I wish I had a way to tell how fast. I almost stopped a cop last night and asked him to use his radar gun. I don't know, I'm sure its breaking the residential area speed limit

The conversion for 1 MPH is 1.4666 feet per second. Mark two chalk lines on your street 100 feet apart and get a good stopwatch. Time the truck from mark to mark.

Divide 100' by that time, let's say it's 3 seconds.

100'/3sec=33.3 feet per second(fps)

Compare that to the given (1.4666fps=1mph)

33.3fps/1.466fps=22.7mph

Easy!!
