Did the calculation and posted results here. I only need 1.99 or 2.098" rise to get 4* depending on the legnth of the run. Pretty nifty simple calculation. This would have been the way to learn math back in school. If only my trig teacher had known or cared... if only I'd had the sense or luck to see the purposes I might love.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
