That is about right.
The formula for determining the RPM at a given speed with a given rear end ratio is as follows.
RPM = ((Speed * 0.7 * 3.73) / (3.14 * TireDia) * 1056
Where:
- Speed is the speed in miles per hour
- 0.7 is the final ratio of the tranny in OD
- 3.73 the rear end ratio
- TireDia is the diameter of the tire in inches.
- 1056 is the conversion for miles/hr to inches/hr
Note, if you know the rolling circumference of the tire you can substitute that for the 3.14 * TireDia term.
