Carburetor size Question

This above is correct?
But do you travel this speed as a norm?
Do you travel the interstate?
What is the normal interstate speed and at what rpm would that be for this combo?
What would it be for 70/75 mph?

I’m curious. So far, for the elevated speeds, I’m mentally guesstimating the rpm may fall into the cams sweet spot where it is really more efficient.

Thanks

Good point. For me, I probably need to gear for the interstate speeds with this particular vehicle. If you aren’t going at least 70 mph in Southern California you’ll get ran over.

In a BFG Radial T/A the 255/60-15 is 27.1” and the 275 is 28”

For you and A/J @ 75 mph it would be 3500 but driving a more conservative 65 you would be at 3000 rpm.

One thing to keep in mind is that a D100 is about as aerodynamic as an open umbrella in a hurricane.
