- There is more to it then this... remind me wed and I will explain my theory on Trans ratios.... and rear gears... Land speed racing is absolutely about gears and rear ratio's as well as Peak Rpm and

- I don't quite follow. You calculate mph/rpm in 3rd and 4th gears, but how do you get to the rpm increase in the last line? Also, let me try to make my point logically. I am in 3rd gear and accelerat

- okay now add in your Hp and Torque curves and you got it down pat.... Shift at 6% past max hp and into the heart of your torque curve you are going to go as fast as that motor and frontal area will a
