This can't be right
 
Am I missing something here?? I have wore out the slip calculators & just don't believe them.
I run right at 5000 RPM, 92 mph (as a everyday loaded speed) on a 1.34 gear ratio with labbed 28's.
I keep coming up with about 8%. That just seems too low. Not that I'm *****in, just curious to know if my math is right.
Thanks

It will! Check the fuel gauge. The 29 holds 150 gallons.:drink:

The props probably aren't 28" of pitch after being labbed. If Brett did them for you he can probably tell you the actual pitch....probably closer to 29" or more given your slip numbers.

Even of the slip is more I'm still WAY ahead of the game.

No kidding! I had 3 flat bumpers that I left on the floor so I would remember to take them out, bounced the center cushion of the bed out & all the towels the GF thinks we need to roll up & display by the couches.
I'd bet there is 200 lbs of crap up there I need to take out. Probably would gain another mph or two if I did.:eek:
