Go to TCIAUTO.Com On their web sight they have a section for Tech Center, Click on that and then go to technical resources. Then click on Racing calculators. You can figure any of the following 4 with 3 of the variables known.

Rear gear ratio
Tire diameter
Engine rpm
Miles Per Hour.

They have many useful calculators at the same place.

This formula requires knowing trap speed - which like, if you know that you probably already know what the rpm was:

RPM= (MPH?Gear*Ratio?336) / Tire*Diameter

WAG


60 Foot ET = 1.5245
330 Foot ET = 4.5285
1/8 Mile ET = 7.1393
1/8 Mile MPH = 93.8206
1000 Foot ET = 9.4059
1/4 Mile ET = 11.3265
1/4 Mile MPH = 117.8254

5660 RPM @ 660 - with some Converter Slippage

You will need to adjust for converter slippage.
