Performance Keys
Tire Ratio –
Calculates Tire Ratio, effective drive
ratio (
d-eff
), equivalent drive ratio (
d-eQV
), actu-
al speed (
SPD►A
) and indicated (gauge) speed
(
G►SPD)
given entered old Tire Diameter, new
Tire Diameter, Gear Ratio and speed.
Old Tire Diameter (Old Tire Dia) –
Enters the cur-
rent tire size for solving Tire Ratio problems.
Unitless entries assumed Inches in US mode, mm
in Metric mode.
gear Ratio –
Enters or calculates overall Gear
Ratio. Calculates overall Gear Ratio, as well as
gear ratios adjusted for manual (
Gr-M
) and auto-
matic (
Gr-a
) transmissions given entered RPM,
speed and new Tire Diameter.
new Tire Diameter (new Tire Dia) –
Enters or cal-
culates new tire size. Unitless entries assumed
Inches in US mode, mm in Metric mode. Calculates
tire size given entered speed, Gear Ratio and RPM.
engine Displacement –
Enters or calculates
Engine Displacement. Unitless entries assumed
cubic Inches in US mode, Liters in Metric mode.
Calculates Engine Displacement and cylinder vol-
ume given entered Bore diameter, Stroke length
and number of Cylinders.
number of Cylinders (# Cylinders) –
Enters the
number of Cylinders in an engine. Default is 8 cyl-
inders.
Compression Ratio –
Enters or calculates the
Compression Ratio. Calculates Compression Ratio
given entered Bore diameter, Stroke length, Gasket
Bore diameter, Gasket Thickness, Deck Height,
Dome volume and Chamber volume.
