I have made the header chart... what is the next chart you guys think I should make ? Open to suggestions. Not everything lends itself to a chart but the headers definitely do and Dodgestang has the wheels covered.

Not a bad idea. I think if you combine that with the air filter information...that might prove valuable. Not sure how wide of a variation there are in intakes since I haven't fooled with many. Maybe combining intake, carb, and filter ? See what combo's fit well and which required hood changes. I don't want to go crazy with the databases because not everything lends itself to one.

just go to www.stanginfo.com and click on the header link. By the way...based on your name do you work at Langley ? I worked there while I was in graduate school at ODU.

Click to expand...
All of the Ford 5-speed manuals and 4-speed autos use almost exactly the same OD ratio as well as the 1:1 in the gear right before OD. With that in mind I made a small chart to calculate approximate RPM ranges for cruising at 60mph here...

http://www.edbert.net/rpm_chart.htm

I know you wanted to see various MPH figures, and my chart does not take tire flex/growth into account, but it is a good start if you wanna use it. It was made by me to select a R&P for use behind my AOD, but if you wanna see the numbers for a T5 just take what I marked as 4th gear and call it 5th and take 3rd and call it fourth. The two trannies (T5 and AOD) use a 0.67 and 0.66 OD ratio, which means they are the same for an RPM chart

Here's the math if you just want to do your own from scratch:
MPH = (rpm * tire diameter) / (rear gear ratio * trans gear ratio * 336)
RPM = (rear gear ratio * (mph * 88)) / ((tire Circumference/12)) * trans gear ratio

I did graduate research there and that was 10 years ago so I can't remember the exact division. I worked in the building directly across from the wind tunnels. We were doing all kinds of programs and testing for runway navigation. I enjoyed the free air shows the most
