Yes I did have only one wheel of the ground... Q? What is the formula you used to get your #s? I would like to know just for future reference. Thanks.
I converted your measured number to 1.333 revs of the engine per one rev of the wheel. Then I divided by the 5th gear ratio of 0.7576. That results in 1.7609:1. With only one wheel off the ground, wheelspeed is doubled. So I doubled the result, getting about 3.52:1. I'm pretty sure I did the math right, less sure I'm explaining it well!
