[DeTomaso] Optimal Air Fuel Ratio Question

[David in Durango]

5200 and some.

As inspiration for the upcoming pleasurefest in and around Reno I, again, will relate:
Jr. "It has been clocked at over 200mph."
Well, Jr, how fast will it go?
Jr. "It will pull redline in fifth."
How fast is that?
Jr. "effing 260"

true story - if at least one Pantera doesn't pass me on the trip I'll be disappointed.  Travel safe.

  Denver is closer to 5,000 feet unless you are flying over it. ;-]>

  But then Jack reports Junior has run 240 Mph at Silver State too. ;-]>
  Reality: he ran 206 mph trap speed on radar @ a 177 Mph Average)

  Denver isn't quite 10,000 ft, otherwise we should listen to uncle Jack - all 
  principles apply.
