Default Rear end gearing calculator

A few years back someone posted a link to a rear end gear calculator web site. You would select your motor, transmission, and gears. And then you could put in a MPH and it would tell you the RPM or vice versa.
I my speedo seems way off and I want to confirm. It would be nice to know if im going to get a speeding ticket or not.

If you have a smart phone, download a speedometer app. GPS is accurate enough at constant speed.

In my area, there are numerous speed limit signs with a radar display below the sign showing your speed. San Antonio must be more relaxed. :-)
