Been reading a lot of messages about T-5, Tiger "close ratio' and "wide
ratio" gearing, tire sizes, and speed in gears.
Here is a "do-it-yourself" calculator that you can play with and make
whatever comparisons you want:

Once again, Bob Hokanson has provided an excellent graphic gear ratio
calculator in Excel, along with a link to get a free Excel Calculator.
It will simultaneously display Tiger "close ratio", Tiger II "wide
ratio", the JBA 1352-000-20, the Mustang 5 speed, the Motorsport 5
speed, and the JBA 1352-000-204. (or any other gear ratios you may want
to compare.
You can alter the engine rpm, the gear you want to examine by a "gear
selector", tire diameter, rear end gear ratio to compare various options.
Everyone should read this page, and even download it into a PC/Mac. It
will settle a lot of arguments.
Thanks, yet again, to Bob Hokanson and his handy spreadsheet. There may
even be a later version we need to reference, but THIS one is great.
