I used some inputs from my car (e.g., 3.7 rear axle ratio and my 165R15 tires). You can alter the spreadsheet if your car is set up differently. I know that the spreadsheet won’t make it through to the list, but if anyone wants it, just send me an e-mail.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">For a TR3A with a stock gearbox, 3.7 rear end, and 165R15 tires, 4500 rpm in 4<sup>th</sup> gear would yield 91.4 mph. 5000 rpm would yield 101.5 mph. At 75 mph the engine should have been turning over at just under 3700 rpm.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Dave MacKay</p><p class="MsoNormal">TR3A s/n 68639L</p><p class="MsoNormal">Near Toronto, Canada</p></div></body></html>
