take the current ratio (eg 4.10), and divide by the new ratio (eg 3.73). The result multiplied by your current speed at a given RPM (eg 50 mph @ 2700) will give you the new speed.
4.10/3.73=1.099
1.099*50=55 mph @ 2700.
This doesn't guarantee that your engine will be able to turn 2700 with the new rear, but it is a simple conversion for the numbers.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
