| Divide the engine peak rpms by the desired headspeed and that gives you the gear ratio you require...
example, 16,000 rpm on the engine and a desired headspeed of 1850 rpm will give you a needed gear ratio of 8.64
now its just a matter of finding the right pinion and main gear to maximize torque from the engine.
