This tool is designed to allow quick estimations of engine speed, road speed, and gearing. Enter in the values that you want, and the tool will calculate the speed in each gear. Over-rev conditions are noted as well, just in case you want to know what-if. It's also useful for calibrating your speedometer, but please note that differences in tire diameter and tachometer accuracy will certainly affect the results.
