Given the tire diameter, rear end gear ratio and the engine RPM, what is the formula for calculating MPH ?

This equation is for 4sp, in 4th gear at 1:1 ration. Crankshaft turns once: Drive shaft turns once.

G = final gear reduction (differential)

d = diameter of wheel

pi = 3.14159

(2 * pi * (d/2))
------------------ * RPM = MPH
G * 1056

So, let me do the math here....27" diameter tire, 4.11 rear at 8000 RPM is 156 mph. WOW!
