Here's a usefull link to a web page that I found tonight.

It has calculators for these following uses. I know we already have some here. Just letting you know what this site has. It does have a few that we don't have.


1. Figuring your HP by using either your 1/4 mile ET, or your Trap Speed.

2. Tire diameter based on the size printed on the sidewall.

3. MPH to RPM in steps of 500 RPM Starting with 1000RPM and going to 7500RPM

4. Rear end Gear Ratio

5. CFM needed for an engine (given for 4 bbl carbs).

6. Compression Ratio!!!!!!!

7. And finally, 1/8 to 1/4 conversion chart.

There's also a tech link that will give you the actual formulas. That way you can wear out a pencil if you wish to.

Plus a few links to well respected manufactures of HI-PO parts, etc.

BTW, I figured I post this, even to you V6 guys.

Thanks for that link! Here's another one; this is the best tire/wheel/gear calculator I've seen yet. If you're thinking of swapping tire/wheel sizes or rear gears, this tells you everything. You change one value, move to a different field, and the whole sheet recalculates itself.

That is true, that means we have about a 17-22% lose through a drivetrain that is old in design and as well in miles.
So were not doing that bad for unmodded
