Here is a link to a calculator: http://www.csgnetwork.com/speedcalc.html |
Communism works in theory too.
The correction factors seems to account for wheel/tire size changes. Did not appear to take into account aero (huge impact on top speed), nor potential heat soak if FI, ambient temps, etc. Unless it does, I put very little stock in said calculator. Far more interested in real world results that people have seen.
