Even final drive ratio isn't that helpful at the track unless there are many people running the same car with the same diameter wheels, who know their transmission ratio. Use rollout as your benchmark (which is how far the wheel travels for each revolution of the motor).

Check www.arroyoc.com There is a link in the tools section that has a final drive/rollout/mph tool that is very useful.
