My favorite speed calculator is:
http://www.trenterprises.com/tre_pages/gears.htm
Requires java-enabled browsers.
Has limitations, but also has lots of TR specific info already dialed in.
The circumference chalked on the last set of Hoosiers I bought was 79".
If you keep constant the gear ratios and engine RPM, and change the tire
sizes, you will see the difference in speed is not all that great,
certainly not enough to warrant a new R&P.
My experience with welded diffs was not great. I got way faster with the
Salisbury right out of the box.
