I have a gear ratio chart for Excel if any is interseted. You enter tire
size, rear end ratio and the gear ratio and you get something like the
following
In my case Tire size 185/74/14
Tire Dia 24.93
Tire Width 7.28
Rear End Ratio 3.91
1st Gear 2.95 at 5000 rpm 32 mph
2nd Gear 1.94 at 5000 rpm 49 mph
3rd Gear 1.34 at 5000 rpm 71 mph
4th Gear 1.00 at 5000 rpm 95 mph
5th Gear 0.63 at 500 rpm 151 mph
Fairly impressive, but where can you go 151 and do you really want to in a
B?
