- Calculate your speed with this formula: d * RPM -- = speed, MPH 336 * ratio where: d = tire diameter in inches ( 2X rolling radius ) RPM = revs per minute (duh) ratio = rear end ratio, 4.11, 4.55, 3

- This was an issue because of a speeding ticket I got, had to go get a certificate of calibration from a Licenced Speedo shop, take it before the judge. FWIW, using the formula, gets 18 MPH/1000 RPM

- My formula is air temp+ min. for temp gauge to get halfway x time for gas needle to move in opposite direction from temp needle= mph. Also fairly accurate! Laura G.
