Um, thanks? Long before Google was ever even thought up, there was John Lawlor's Auto Math Handbook. And palm-size solar calculators, and college-ruled notebook paper. I was doing spreadsheets before PCs could do them.
Much more to be learned by doing it right, only takes 10 minutes, and seeing the RPM at every speed in every gear, seeing your shift points, all in a single glance. Just don't forget the torque converter always slips at least 400 RPM at WOT, even if it can lockup at cruise.
