    I never gave a rat's behind about the speed in each gear. Never agreed with that method. Shift to keep the engine in the RPM band it likes and drive it.

    Search the web for a gear ratio, rpm, etc... calculator. You can play with the number and see the correlation.

    I know there's these things at the top left that show the date.

    But since we're here like the other guy said i really only split 7-8 positions if I'm heavy. Or just 8th if I'm light. Hardly ever split 5-6th

    70 is when I put it in the big hole

    A 4.56 rear will have different speeds then a 3.42 rear, depends on engine and where it likes to rev to as well. I usually only split 7 and 8th unless it’s something special situation

    And stay the #### out of the low hole on the high side
