Ok Kuk, here's my guess. ...
I used this formula I found on the net:
MPH = (RPM x Tire Diam) / (Trans Ratio * Rear Ratio * 336.13524)
This can be found at

From the address you can see the site is about the f-body cars but the
formula looked like it might work, so...
What is ... 124.29 Mph At 5000 rpm: What is 138.10 Mph
Yes Alex, I did phrase my answer in the form of a question.
Dakota modifications for $400 please...
Anyway let me know how close I got.
