Will have to guess some information.

Is that wheel power or FW?
Weight of car?
RPM you would like to use?

Assuming about 800kgs, and 110 to 115mph on the 1/4,
23" tyre would be 7123 to 7447 rpm

100mph would be 6476 rpm

With more accurate numbers for weight, wheel power, and engine rpm,
I could get a better answer for you.🤓

hi, im not really sure but this is pretty close, standard weight of 57 bug on 68 pan, irs 091, motor supposedly has 235 at flywheel, rpm ....... i dont really know as yet, but i imagine it should rev to 8000 in 4th, so hopefully cross 1/4 at that rpm?????? appreciate u thoughts.
