  This formula has nothing to do with horsepower. IF your motor will get 
to 8000rpm in 5th gear with a 26.5" tire, you will be going 212 mph. IF 
it can get to 9500 rpm you will be doing 250 mph. Again that's a big IF!

What happens is that your motor won't get to that rpm level if it 
doesn't have the horsepower to push the car through the air (or if the 
air isn't dense enough to make decent horsepower at altitude).

I'll be ok......
