Salt flat racers also add in frontage area, drag coefficient to determine horsepower to get certain speed. Not a big deal for the trucks, but been playing with it for my Chevelle make over.

Thanks OrrieG, I tried one of the calculators and 4.10's at 2000 rpm with 31" tires gives 45 mph so I see what you mean. Not great for highway speeds. I really don't think I want anything larger than 31's either. Rick
