You need to know what gear you have in the rear end, to get the right gear for the transmiaaion.

You also need to know the diameter of the rear tires.

Here's a link to a calculator that you can plug the information into: http://www.csgnetwork.com/multirpmcalc.html thumbs_up

Hope that helps!

Speedos are calibrated to 1000 revs per mile.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
