Default 4:10 RPM/Speed Calculation

To find your speed at any given RPM with a 4:10, just triple your RPM reading (2500 X 3 = 7500) and then decimalize that number (7500 divided by 100 = 75.00, or 75) to get your miles per hour. In order to figure out RPMs at a given speed, just reverse the above calculation. This is an old hot rodders trick and works very well.
