6speed good deal??
The calculation thingy is @:
http://www.scirocco.org/gears/
(I still can't find the other one I know I've seen.)
A 195/50/14 tire w/ 4.20 final and .71 6th tranny @ 3000 RPM would go
64mph according to the sites calculator.
If you up the rim size to 15" it makes 67mph.
Comparitively, a 4K tranny w/ 3.94 final and .89 5th using the above tire
values and RPMs, makes 55mph.
Chnage the 5th gear to .75 and it makes 65mph.
Playing the ratio game @ home,
Tim
The one good thing about repeating your mistakes is that you know when to
cringe.
