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"

This is the third time I have read this on 3 different dates. Still trying to figure out what you are exactly looking for..

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..
