I played around with the ratio gear chart, adding weight and aerodynamic
drag coefficient as inputs among other things, to estimate acceleration
times and top speed. I put in some fudge factors to match the factory V8
data, and obtained 0-62 mph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed (where I run out
of power) of 140 mph for my 175 horse power MGB. If anyone wants a copy of
the spreadsheet, send me a mail.
