NO IT is NOT kph  IT is MPH...I know the difference...

My goal in my 88 vanagon engine is NOT to go 133MPH.  I was simply stating
what the mph could be at 5600 rpms the new .70 fifth gear of my new tranny.
I do not plan to find out. I am sure it will do over a 100 MPH easy, which
will be plenty fast for me...  My 73 bus goes to 80 MPH easily!!
