Default well

Determine the circumference of your tire, then using some math, find out how many revolutions it will do in a mile(5,280’) then multiply that by your axle ratio, then your transmission ratio to find out the RPM for any given MPH and gear. easy stuffs…


Or... whatever your tachometer says ...
