If I am going 72 mph in fifth gear running 215/55/16 (I know, the 245/45's are on the way) and am at 2000rpm what is my axle gear size? It is a world class T-5. Free liftime supply of absolutely nothing to the first right answer

Here you go. This'll provide you with the formulas.

And don't worry about the free supply. I've got plenty of it.

The link in my previous post might not be as useful as this one.

http://bbs.hardcore50.com/calc/?mode=speedforrpm

This one's free. Sorry for the confusion

speedo is still gonna be off with a 245/45/16 tire...if you are going to 17's, a 245/45 is what you want, but if sticking with the 16's, you need a 245/50

Thanks 86roadrace I guess the previous owner lied because according to the calculator my car still has 3.08's. So I guess I will have to get a yellow spedo gear - 24" tires, 2000rpm in fourth w/3.08 says 46 mph and that is what the car was doing.
