It really is fascinating to look at this stuff in different ways
you need;
1) overall gear ratio, individual gears and cwp
2) rear wheel torque #s @ rpm from a dyno
3) revs/mi of the rear tires to get the tire constant
tire constant = 5280/(2*Pi*revs/mi)
thrust = ROUND((overall gear ratio*torque@the wheel)/(tire constant),0)
to graph you need to determine the other axis, I chose speed
speed = (rpm*60)/(revs/mi*overall gear ratio)
