T-5 guys, what mph is redline in...

I can't get my autometer tach installed until next week at the earliest. I am fed up trying to guess what my L03 is actually taching with my screwed up factory tach. What mph is your redline in 1st, 2cd, 3rd, and 4th gears???

Sorry Dewey,

I have the factory 3.08 open diff. I'm kinda dumb when it comes to gearing ratios, so the calculator doesn't help me. I just want to know what stock T5 L03 (1992) are redlining at in each gear.

per the TGO calc...

Assuming stock tire size (26" tall tire (13" radius)), and a 4500rpm redline (typically this is the normal shift point for stock cars.)

1st - 38.324266532498974
2nd - 58.27659086127422
3rd - 84.37058676930745
4th - 113.05658627087199
5th - 179.45489884265396
