RPM vs SPEED
REDKG - June 5th, 2004 at 06:06 PM

Type 1 or 3 with a 4.125 ratio gearbox and stock 15" 78 series tyres what speed would you likely see at 3000rpm and 3500rpm. 1600cc twin port stocky.

thanks for that graph, a great help. have a different speedo from a late model (14') wheels. not sure of the diameter of 14 versus 15" wheels, thought the speedo might be indicating incorrectly.
