I need the following information, just send be a private message here with the info and your email address (I cannot send a excel spreadsheet to the board.)

1. engine

2. tire diameter from ground to top of the rear tire

3. rear axle ratio

4. transmission with final od ratio, t5s have around 4 ratios

then I will send you back a spreadsheet that shows:

1. torque within a usable range of speeds for all available rear axle ratios and common engines.

2. speed at 1500, 2000, 3000, rpms for all rear axle ratios



this way you will not end up with a engine, trans, tire diameter , rear axle ratio that will fall on its face........Kieth

Listen to Kieth ^^^^^^^^

He knows what he's talking about. His info and spreadsheet will be very helpful and get you headed in the right direction.
