rear-end ratio - follow-up

[Leroy Eckert]

Tom:
Didn't you know it's what you do with these monsters, launch them? You sure as
@#$% can't turn um. LOL just kidding. O'Conner had a good post regarding
older speed laws, gear retrofits and the placement of info tags etc. Since you
asked specifically about a 1990 PT I passed along what my coach does on the
highway. Boost is the turbo charger inlet pressure applied. Pyrometer is the
temperature of the exhaust gas measured at the position of the sensor near the
turbo charger. In an airplane it's called EGT. Peddle to the metal creates
higher boost and higher temperatures. Generally bad on the equipment. You
probably knew all of that already.
Sooooo, I cruise along about 68MPH talking to the wife while watch'n satellite
TV. Might get there 30 minutes late but the beer is really cold.
Good luck in your search.

Leroy,

Thanks for the input. The terminology "boost" and "Pyro" sound a lot
like a shuttle launch to me. It is probably best for me if I heed
your comment about the competence of the BB engineers, and just assume
that they have built what is best/most efficient.
