Potential Speed Calculator

just enter the FD you want to install along with tire diameter and the gear you are in(IE 1:1) and it will calculate out the top speed, just google your stock gear ratios and plug the numbers in

wait...what?
if you are going with longer gears you will gain top speed but shorter gears will reduce top speed(not by much really), also gears have no effect on drag
