If you know what your 1/8mile ET and MPH is you can determine your approximate 1/4 mile ET and MPH. One quick way to estimate is to look at the index system for the NHRA classes. Once you have an approximate 1/4mi. MPH use the following formula. It will be failry close, will vary some depending on the slippage in your convertor.

rpm = (mph x gear ratio x 336) / tire daimeter.


Hope this helps....
