VSS/RPM ratio

It may just be cause I'm retarded but I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong, I do the formula shown in the item comments section and come up with 25574.76.

My gear ratio is 3.73 and my tire diameter is 25.1"

Please help me

Re: VSS/RPM ratio

Thanks I'll check it out, I found I was using diameter when I should have used radius but still I think I may have at one time accidentally deleted part of the equation from the comments.

Re: VSS/RPM ratio

There is a thread here someplace where I went though all the gory details of the math.

However, it is much easier then that. Use a data log and divide the RPM by the MPH, the result is the N/V ratio. Example:

2250 RPM at 70 MPH: 2250 / 70 = 32.1, which is the N/V ratio for the current transmission gear.

Say if in 1st gear at 35 MPH and the RPM is 4000 RPM the N/V ratio is: 4000 / 35 = 114.3

Much easier then all the math. And it takes into account tire growth and measurement inaccuracies and so on.

RBob.

Re: VSS/RPM ratio

It but wouldn't the speed in the log be off since the ratio is off?

The max I can enter is 62.778

Re: VSS/RPM ratio

The highest number I can enter into the RPM/VSS ratio constant is 62.177 or something like that, plus how would the speed be correct with it set up for the old tires and gear ratio?

Okay a lotta searching and a little math and I got it, 49.973.

Thanks!

Ah I still need help, its at least 10 mph to high with 49.
