Ok, Im going to give you some gear calculations based a five speed transmission, the T-45. Theese gear calculations are also based with a 26in. tall tire w/ 4.10 gears.

T-45

4th gear@5800rpms = 109.422
4th gear@5900rpms = 111.308
4th gear@6000rpms = 113.195
4th gear@6100rpms = 115.081
4th gear@6200rpms = 116.968

Here is a link to the site with the gear calculator is you wish to do more calculations.

I calculate 113 mph w/ 4.10's, 26" effective tire diameter, and 6000 rpm. 4.30's would be 113 x 4.1/4.3 = 108mph.

If your tire diameter is bigger, multiply whichever number (108 for 4.30's or 113 for 4.10's) by your tire diameter divided by 26. If you want a different engine speed, multiply by the new engine speed/6000.

It is: speed = (rpms x diameter x 3.1416 x 60) /(rear ratio x 12 x 5280)

or, more simply, speed = (rpms x dia.) / (336 x ratio)

If you want to check it for other gears, just multiply the trans ratio by the rear ratio, and plug that total ratio into the formula.
