Hello Bud,

       i have made such a chart for my own use, Datsun 5 speed, 4.22
       rear end....175/70 13 tires is as follows...

       1st gear, 1000 rpms = 4.4 mph
       2nd gear, 1000 rpms = 7.15 mph
       3rd gear, 1000 rpms = 11.75 mph
       4th gear, 1000 rpms = 15.5 mph
       5th gear, 1000 rpms = 18.3 mph

       with a standard ribcase...

       1st, 1000 rpm, 4.8
       2nd, "       " 7.9
       3rd  "      "  11.2
       4th  "      "   15.5

       note that 1st, 2nd, 3rd are slightly lower than stock, 4th is
       exactly the same, (a one to one ratio) and 5th give you about
       18% overdrive....

       in 5th gear (datsun) every 500 rpm ~ 9 mph... thus frank c.'s
       claim of 80 mph, at 4500 rpm..
