ok, chaps here goes!!

my cossie im building, ive been looking at gear ratios.

im using a standard box with standard rear diff ratio

so

on 225/40/18 the rolling radius is 6.57 inches

1st 2.95
2nd 1.95
3rd 1.34
4th 1
5th 0.8

3.64 diff ratio and a rev limit of 8000rpm, (will be 8250 but 8k for the speeds)

now my speeds per gear (225/40/18)

1st 56mph
2nd 84mph
3rd 122mph
4th 164mph
5th 205mph

now speed per gear for 225/40/17

1st 53 mph
2nd 81mph
3rd 118mph
4th 158mph
5th 197mph


does these seem right??

seems overly high geared!

ps, im not really trying to do 200mph just wondered why its so long geared
