Auto Gear Calculator
Not sure if anyone here will use this. But I stumbled a site that showed all the different gear ratios for the several transmisions. I threw it in an excel sheet and wrote some equations. Basically if you put in your Gear, Tire, Converter loss and RPM it will give you mph for both a locked and unlocked converter. Might be helpful to figure out what you need.
http://73-ls1.com/misc/gearing_revision_2.xls If you have a tranny you would like me to add, post the gear specs and I'll add it. Added RPM vs MPH in 100 rpm increments. Put your info in the first page labeled "Top Speed" |

Re: Auto Gear Calculator
Hey super 73 this is a little off topic and im brand new to the website and it seems like you really know your stuff, i have a 69 shortbed with an 11-1 built 383 built 700r4 with hardened output shaft all the goodies lockup 3600 converter 3.42 rear gears and a 30 inch tall tire,truck weighs 3600 lbs i am wanting to switch to a 4.11 or 4.30 gear and didnt know if it would be too much gear for going through the traps in 3rd gear without shifting in to overdrive? any help would be great

Re: Auto Gear Calculator
You do not want to be in OD unless you have really have that trans built to go there.. Very few are set to handle big power in OD. Plus the drop to
Drop to a 28 in tall tire. Cheaper to test that set up for RPM. what is max RPM on the engine? A few links with gear calc programs . A 30 inch tall tire in bias or radial?? Tire growth will come into play with a bais tire if that is what you have now, my dealings has been that tire is growing at least 1-1.5 inchs on the big end Try this one.. http://hotrodworks.net/hotrodmath/quarter.html http://www.locost7.info/gearcalc.php |
