Nope, still not with a 205 - you only raise it from 119 to 122. That is not 130. Have to go taller.Originally Posted by 280zx 2by2

Nope, I have a program here especially for it, and a second program to double check it. I actually graph out all of the gears.
You need a 235 in a 70-14 to make 130 - without calculating for road and air resistance, or CoD.
Now a 205/75-15 would do it, or a 225/75-14.
Like I said earlier, I'm not saying that you can't hit 130 in the car, just need a few more revs with stock tire size, and stock rear and transmission.

BTW - You can download one of the simple spreadsheets from Dave Lum at www.datsuns.com
You should see that site anyway - good stuff.
