summed it right up
Likely the best way is using the data, in addition to the eyeball test for smoke, getting out of shape, etc.

I always thought the MPH on the slip was the average MPH over the last 66 feet,

so wouldn't take a lot of effort to add a sensor to just have the slip print out the 1254 speed and time and the 1320 speed and time.......flagrant unsafe run would jump out.

also would be a good tool for micro-tuning the converter, rear gear, tranny fluid, etc.
