Yeah , heres my favorate. MPH x Gear x 336^ Tire Diameter = RPM

With the above formula you can pick Any Gear,MPH TD to get a RPM from the change. Plus its Easy to remember off the top of your head. The Key number is 336, after that its just gear TD and MP = RPM mike

Don't forget to divide final RPM by 95-96% for converter slippage.

Here's a neat one to plug numbers into.......... Visual Speed/RPM Calculator

I think that was done by a member here but, don't remember who it was.
