So, now you can enter your variables and have fun calculating and dialing in the numbers till you are happy.
Thanks! I'm getting pretty close to scratching off the last few items from my "need to buy" list! It's relieving and a little sad at the same time..

I agree with compromising at 4.88's. I think with the 37's it'll be the best highway/street combo.
