Hello Bud,
i have made such a chart for my own use, Datsun 5 speed, 4.22
rear end....175/70 13 tires is as follows...
1st gear, 1000 rpms = 4.4 mph
2nd gear, 1000 rpms = 7.15 mph
3rd gear, 1000 rpms = 11.75 mph
4th gear, 1000 rpms = 15.5 mph
5th gear, 1000 rpms = 18.3 mph
with a standard ribcase...
1st, 1000 rpm, 4.8
2nd, " " 7.9
3rd " " 11.2
4th " " 15.5
note that 1st, 2nd, 3rd are slightly lower than stock, 4th is
exactly the same, (a one to one ratio) and 5th give you about
18% overdrive....
in 5th gear (datsun) every 500 rpm ~ 9 mph... thus frank c.'s
claim of 80 mph, at 4500 rpm..
