When my '84 van is turning 4000 rpm in 4th, I'm going a checked GPS checked speed of 75 mph. Looking at your formula it appears right, but I question the wheel radius at 12 inches. Mine works out bigger. I am using 205/70 x 14. 205 x .7 = 143.5 / 25.4 = 5.64" (5.64 x 2) + 14 = 25.28" diameter which gives a radius of 12.64" Hope this helps, Steve
