[Tigers] Gear and Tire Calculator

[Steve Laifman]

Sandy,

Thanks for the additional source information.  However, TigersUnited.com 
has had the "Bob Hokanson Excel Transmission Calculator spread sheet 
(free Excel Reader) for over 7 years, now.

It is preloaded with Tiger selectable transmission (I, IA, II, T-5 
gears, rear end, and tire options, selectable alternates, RPM control, 
and 1 thru 5 selectable gear effect on rpm and speed.  ALL parameters 
can also be customized.

It is really a great tool, and can be used to graph results.
